one moring i was on my way out the door to go to work, but when i tried to turn on my car it wouldn't. it would try to turn over but it wouldn't. then radiator coolant started to come out of my exhaust. i think it has to do with my rotory sealing, does anyone know which sealing i need? or if that is my actual problem.

Was green liquid coming out of the exhaust? If so, you'll need some water seals.



Or you've been pouring the Mountain Dew down the wrong hole. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



Next you'll ask me how hard it is to take off the head and all that. lol kidding https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



My friend overheated his engine and now exhaust gasses go into the radiator. It still fires up fine and runs great. It's just got some bad rotor housings now and the water seals can't do their job very well anymore because there is less to seal against because the rotor housings got 'crushed'. Aluminum moves a bit if heated too much. That may be your engine's problem, or something like that. Worst case on your engine would be if the thin sections of your cast iron housings let go. That is, if you've got a 2nd gen or later engine. It's been known to happen.



Now that I've throroughly confused this guy, can I have j9fd3s or somebody else come in this thread and give this guy some proper advice? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

If it is pouring out that bad, you probably have a busted O-ring groove. At a minumum you need a complete rebuild kit

3 opnion would be like the others. If it is coming out the exhaust that bad you need some serious engine work.
