OK... well i just bought a KOYO radiator and i put it in and its hooked up right... except i drove around for like 10 mins yesterday and it really hot!! So i took the lower radiator hose off to reconnect the clamp and i found two small pieces of dry CORN in the hose!!! i was wonderin if there could b more and that is blocking the coolant from the motor??? cause i checked the coolant and its still full... also there is a little tiny bit of oil leaking from somewhere behind my pulleys... so i tightend up the bolts on the oil pan and the oil drain plug and its still leaks but not near as much??? and motor makes kind of a hissing noise at idle.... i prob need a new motor

your post is lacking something, But there is really something wrong if you have CORN in your radiator. The oil is probably ypour front crank seal,pretty common on a 240, the hissing noise is likely a vaccum line off or your p/s pump. I seriously doubt your engine is blown out. Also when you put coolant in your car, 1 it has to be 50/50 and 2 it has to be blead properly. There is stuff in 240 technical on the proper way to bleed it.
