So I bought a gsr bottom end and put it in my coupe along with my b16 head I have had, When I first got the motor I swapped it out and drove it for one week, I was driving down the highway one day at about 65 in cruise control and the car just died, I got it home and pulled the head and I had 4 bent valves, took it to the machine shop got it all fixed up (i think the timing belt stretched some how) I think that caused the bent valves or maybe even the tenisnor going bad.. I have since changed it also.


I know have a antifreeze leak when I start the car for about 3 min. its running on the bottom of the oil pan on the drivers side. I looked on the head nothing is coming from the head, I'm thinking the water pump gasket could have went bad? The hoses also look fine to me. I have no idea any input at all would be great. my alt belt was alittle wet but not to sure whats going on..

Damn, LEAD I meant LEAK sorry its so early!

 

water pump leak when they are no good ..

 

Bump

 

it would seem to be the water pump, maby the shock of the snaping/streching belt causes the seal to break, maby the shaft is warped, from that area i would deffinatly check the water pump

 

but i dont have any fluid on my timing belt
