Ok, Long Story Short ... Spun Bearing In Old Motor, Bought Used, 90-Day Warranty Motor From Local Reputable Auto Supplier ...

Dropped It In ... Smoked Like A Cigarette, So ... Yanked The Head Off This Morning And Changed The Gasket ...

Now ... Still Smokes, And Temp Runs Up In The Red ... Add Antifreeze = Smokes More ...

I Don't Get It.

Any Suggestions ?

You want suggestions...?

I'll give you the obvious one: use that 90-day warranty! Even if you manage to change some parts and get this thing to run properly, it will be worse in the long run. Clearly the motor was not maintained well...

Good luck though.

Nah, Head Is Fine Checked For Cracks And Straight Edged The **** Out Of It. Yea ... I Think That Warranty Is Looking Good Right Now. This SUCKS ! lol

Ok, PinPointing Some Things Out Here ... There Is White Smoke Coming From Under The Intake Mani, Only When I Add Antifreeze ... Also, That Same Smoke Comes From the Exhaust When I Add Antifreeze ... Hmmmm I Can Understand The Exhaust, But From Under The Mani ?
