OK so i overheated because of a stupid *** leaking radiator, and suprise suprise my head gasket blew. It overheated a few times actually. But i was a dumbass and put off getting a new radiator. Then While just driving normal down the street with temps normal i see HUGE clouds of white smoke coming out of my exhaust and a guy even flagged me down because he thought i was on fire.

The gasket must have blown right by cylinder 4 because when i was doing my compression test with all of my spark plugs out and was testing compression on the motor a HUGe stream of water came out of the number 4 spark plug hole. It scared the hell out of me and got all over my friend. Well enough rambling here's a few pics of tonight when i was getting ready to pull the motor and throw in another one i had sitting in the garage.

Here's a pic of the motor that's going in the slut hopefully by monday at the lastest.

That pic of the coolant in the mani is "motivational poster" worthy.

Is that a Ebay mani BTW?

What are you using as the downpipe/Turbo elbow thing.

haha yeah that coolant in the manifold really made me realize why there was SO much damn white smoke.... had to take a picture and post up.

Yeah that's an ebay manifold. I bought a jgs 5 bolt flange and had a custom downpipe/exhaust made.
