Aite so i was driving home today and all of a sudden i start to hear some noise coming from timing belt area and thought it was my water pump. After the noise car jerks and shot up to 3/4 on temp gauge i quickly pull over. Sat for almost an hour on side of freeway to let motor cool all the way down. Drove another 10 miles to get a little closer home so i wouldnt get raped for tow. Drove ok then after 10 mins started up again and i pulled off as it went to 3/4's again i put it in neutral before shutting it down and it seemed that my car turned of before i got a chance. Got it Towed drove it in my garage from driveway and heard shaky terrible noise. Parked drained oil and i have slight coolant in oil so i know i popped a gasket but wtf was the shaky noise. Thought for sure it was water pump but now i cant tell where its coming from. Def not timing belt area. Any ideas? DO NOT WANNA rebuild. Hope its nothing or the eggs gonna be sitting...

 

anything? anyone have experience with car shutting while overheating?

 

i would say pull your plugs and see if theres coolant or oil on them that would explain your shaking. but your problem is blown head gasket or cracked sleeve

 

pulled the plugs and they look fine. When i drained my oil there was only a slight milky look too it. I hardly lost any coolant. Heads coming off tomorrow so well see how it looks. Also did compression test and all but one where at about 180. One cylinder read about 145. I was thinking thats gotta be where the gaskets blown? If i had cracked a sleeve or rings were gone wouldnt it read alot less?

 

any ideas on what caused the overheating? Radiator fan stays on at all times. Thinking thermostat? Because all of a sudden my radiator fan stopped working. even after changing the switch it doesnt work. But as soon as i put direct power to it it works fine.Fan stop working about a week ago and ive had it direct to power since. Is thermostat sticking and how to tell? so coolant in oil causes shaking sound? After second overheat coolant filled up in reservoir and was bubbling up. only felt shaking after getting it home i pulled it into the garage.

 

no input anyone????????

 

I hate to ask this but I'm assuming you checked the fan fuse in the box next to your battery, right?

 

This is one reason I'm just gonna get a GSR block for my b16 head x_x I heard b20vtecs have these different variations of cooling/overheating problems.

 

up Would leakdown test tell me if rings or sleeve is gone? might do it before i pull the head later..
