MASSIVE COOLANT LEAK
Recent b16 swap into ek cx. Holy crap shoot! It is DEFINATELY coolant, and there is a mass flow near the rear of the car from where a muffler was shotty welded to the exhaust. I started the car with the rad and res full, now after running it for about 10 minutes the res is EMPTY. It is 100% coolant. I am amazed that the car can loose coolant this fast!
Little Help?
Thanks,
-Jay

Re: (J's Racing)
Where to start... I took out the plugs to do a compression check, a couple looked rich, not a big deal.
I hook up the gauge and on the first crank a huge BURP of coolant SHOOTS up from cylinder 3 or maybe a combo of em!
Now this is a problem, but also i took off the oil cap and fished around inside with a light, where you should only see nice new oil, there is a thick kind of milky with a brownish tint goop.
Looks like things are really starting to get interesting!
Ideas?

Re: (J's Racing)
now you need to find WHY the sleeve cracked, thats your problem. sounds like you were pumping coolant into the engine, wich is very very bad.

The coolant could be in the engine due to the cracked sleeve OR the cracked sleeve could be because of the coolant in the engine. i think the first one is the correct one though....

since there was coolant in more than 1 cylinder, its unlikley the cracked sleeve caused it.
