Ok so this is my first time on here really need help.....
I'll start from when I first seen problems...
About three months ago I noticed that I was loosing coolant from the cooling system not allot I thought but had to fill radiator and back up res about every four days, and as of a few weeks ago have a pin hole crack in plastic part of my radiator. Low on cash so did not replace just filled water more frequently now on Friday car overheated and turned off on the exit of the freeway and would not turn back on till I believe the motor cooled. Once I got it started ran very rough and turned off idled really low. Finally got it to my house and it turned off and will not turn back on I checked oil dipstick and has milkshake in it water in motor I read in allot of other threads this is not as bad as it looks or sounds but in my case I can't start my car and use it any advise os what I can do to fix this I am pretty knowledgable in mechanic work just don't know where to start with this water in my motor

How can I get the oil/ water out of the engine with out doin any more harm to the motor is there a product that I can buy and put in?

thewrangler99

Maybe drain and fill with filter change?

tightnight

your head gasket needs to be replaced.

pickler

this is a headgasket issue. strange, this was not a problem with those cars. You must have overheated the engine.

Get a used low mileage engine.

I heard this stuff called red devil or blue devil might fix it some mechanic says it fixes all leaks in cooling system and maybe use something called something plus to clean and flush the engine then change oil and filter and use a liquid head sealer .......I don't know I just want it fixed no money for new engine or car I believe I did over heat the engine because the needle was all the way in the H may not have pulled over quick enough to cool it off I was hoping maybe the valves needed adjusting so I did that today cleaned the intake manifold and throttle body still won't start when I crank it turns and sounds like its gonna turn over but only while I floor the gas. I know fuel pimp is working because I can smell gas as I'm trying to start car ......just trying to give out as much info as I can maybe someone has been though this before and can help

If the oil looks like milkshake, it is most likely a blown head gasket. Coolant has somehow made it into the oil, and I don't think there is any real fix other than replacing the head gasket. There is no easy cheap fix for this short of buying a used motor and swapping it yourself. You will also need to repair the cooling system otherwise fixing the motor will be pointless.

First and foremost your head gasket is blown, or even worse you have a crack somewhere else, But willing to wager a pretty penny on head gasket.
Second, that is just the start of this issues, when you do go to swap head gasket you have to make sure you did not warp or crack the block or the head. Best of luck to you my friend

simonjerry

How hard is it to change the head and or head gasket are there any videos or step by step guides I can view that anyone knows of

Stephen00TL

Te problem is what damage did you do to the car. Like tommy said you could have cracked the block. The only way to find out is tear it down. At this poin don't mess with it just replace the engine. Next time either don't drive the car or get it fixed

replace head gasket

while you're doing that

replace water pump and belts and plugs and so forth.


however.. if you ran your car overheated to the point it needed to be cooled to start back up.......... you might as well start looking for a new motor as your tear open this one to check for any cracks or warping.

but if you're gonna do that...


you might as well build your motor like the others that do...
