My radiator fan was broke from when I hit a deer it got wedged in the front mountand wouldn't turn There must have been some sort of short caused by that because since that incident it never turn on at all. The temperature gauge was not reading the correct temperature apparently because it read just under the halfway line when the car was boiling hot. Yesterday afternoon while driving home (98 deg) the car overheated cut off and did not want to start. The gauge the whole wile was reading just under halfway and then all of a sudden bolted past redline.

When i got home it died in the driveway and would not start again. I put it in the garage still smoking for about 15 minutes! (not the radiator, between the head and block) I'll try to pull the motor this weekend to see what is damaged. Time to rebuild. Anybody with a Free H22 the want to give to me?

 

Oh man, that sucks Someone give this guy a free H-duece-duece

 

I did something kinda like that to my 85 civic in college...replaced engine with one from a CRX. I feel for you.

 

im still in the process of replacing the engine in my mustang because i ran it hot and warped the al. heads

so i too know the pain. hey, i have a stock f22 out of a 96 LX that i can hook ya up w/cheap..considering the circumstances :S

sorry though.
