very sad day..no its not another stolen thread but might as well be
i just got done building my motor b18b1 with cp pistons and eagle rods and other list of things and when i fired it up, the coolant in my overflow tank dissapeared. i think i gotta crack in my cylinder. do u think i can pour some of the radiator sealant to see if it seals or am i fucked and have to tear it all apart to rebuild again?

Well,if its leaking into the cylinders,you definatley dont want pour sealant in there.
There shouldnt be a crack in the sleeve just from start up.You should do a compression test.Maybe its the headgasket.
Or maybe you had an air pocket somewhere in the cooling system.
Check under the car for leaks as well.

update: the coolant level hasnt gone down since i refilled it. i think my thermostat opened, sucked all the coolant into the motor and filled up where the air pockets were. so i think im fine. i almost cried when i thought i had a crack.
