    Something is wrong?!?!?!

    I dunno what happened exactly, but I came to a stop light today and steam started rolling from under the car.. I looked at the temp gauge and it was pegged on H... I pulled over immediately, shut the car off and popped the hood... Coolant and oil was EVERYWHERE!!! I wasn't getting on it or anything... What would cause a line to blow or cause oil and coolant to go everywhere if I'm not even running it hard? Hopefully it will be a easy cheap fix... I haven't looked at it too much yet, but if anyone has any advice or knows what might be wrong please let me know!!!

    Thanks guys...

      Oil? Coolant? Sounds like headgasket or you blew a hole in your block some how.

        If the temp gauge was pegged, the head gasket is likely toast. If it blew, you may have warped the head.

        It won't be cheap or easy to fix. Not impossible, but it might be easier to just get a new motor. You'll need to pull the head to change the gasket, and if the head is warped (which is likely), you'll need it to be machined... which may or may not completely fix it.

          Or, you could just check the easy stuff before you go replacing motors, like looking at all your coolant lines to see if any popped off. Slightly cheaper than a motor. I've had a coolant line pop off, and my temperature gauge peg the H. That was 20,000 miles ago, and everything is fine.

            I'm hoping it may just be a line... I've got some money saved up for my H22 swap... but I've got to get to work and school until I can order it... I really don't wanna dip into my swap money to fix stuff like a warped head... Would it be cheaper (if the head is warped) to get the head machined, or just buy a complete head from someone off here???

              just a coolant line wouldn't have oil leaking though. i'm with the gasket or more likely the block idea

                Exactly, and if you need a temp fix, get a new head gasket, put it in, run it, and hope it lasts till you get to your swap

                  If it was oil AND coolant spraying all over the place... it's the head gasket.

                  If it overheated, it's also likely to be the head gasket. Overheating is the easiest way to trash an engine, especially an aluminum engine.

                    i'm def gonna change out the head gasket... when I do and I check the head to see if it's warped... will it be pretty obvious?? Or will I really need to look close to see if it's warped??

                      you'll need to use a straight edge and a feeler gauge.

                      or just bring it to a machine shop and have them resurface it/check to see if its warper
