well found out yesterday the jspec i just put into my TII has a blown coolant seal. noticed it was overheating and it no longer had any coolant in the radiator interesting!!!! also smokes so bad you can barely see my car when i come to stop after i get my FD back from judge ito. i'm gonna have him pull the engine and rebuild and port it. was hoping to have this running 100% already but oh well. that's what i get for trying to be cheap and put in a used engine

I'm sorry to hear that though man, my jspec has a busted coolant oring AND a bust apex seal...so I know how ya feel.



Say it with me now: "JSpecs suck and nobody should buy them!"

yup. i look at it this way my other engine needs more than $650 in hard parts to rebuild it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Yea very true, at least you got the parts to work with now.

vosko 07-11-2002 10:24 AM

hopefully this engine isn't all jacked up inside

UniqueTII 07-11-2002 10:26 AM

Hmmm...looks like I'm not buying one.

If your rebuilding the jspec and its just got a blown coolant seal..it'll be an easy rebuild. My NA blew its coolant seal...and when the motor was torn down, it had perfect APEX seal, housings and rotors...only had to replace about 4 seals/rings and it was good to go again...
