serious coolent problems in a Zero mile b18c1
i have an engine thats at the tuner right now , we start iut up and water is in the top tube of the rad but the bleeder valve on the head is dry and the lower (return) rad hose is 100% DRY , we took out the thermostat at is was dry with NO water behind it . . what could be the problem ??

its running and gets up to 200 temp before we shut it off . . .

HELP i need this fixed so i can get my car up and running . . .

the water pump is not leaking and looks fine( spinning fine on the timing belt)

 

bump HELP

 

Umm, did you put enough coolant in it?
It should be around a gallon and a half for the total system.

 

yea haha , even if i didnt put the reg amount water would come out of the return tube if things were working ok

 

head gasket?

water pump?

probably water pump

 

Double check your water pump.

 

how?? ( do i double check it)

i hear the only way it breaks is if it starts "weeping" leaking . . its powered by the timing belt so how could it break ?

 

edited for a really dumb answer, sorry

 

was it resleeved? check your oil pan...(for water)

if not keep filling it until water starts coming out? I mean come on, there's only so many places or things it could be.

 

did you guys bother to look on theground to see if its spilling from somewhere?
