[Damea]

BLEW MY CAR UP YESTERDAY..... and now i need some help

what is this hole..... and why when i pour water into my radiator,does a steady flow of water come from this hole

[Damea]

ok so now i got a couple questions

im pretty sure the water is coming from the water pump, located behind timing belt?

once again why would water pour from this hole when i put it in my rad???

i cant get my spark plug tubes off..... its like thier siezed or theres water pressure built up.... is this possible and how to fix it???

i am about ready to cut the boots and start drilling, but am wating for some reply

no water in oil.... car started right before i stared to tare into it(no broken timing belt)right?

anyones opinion will be greatly appreticated

OK, so you pull the pump take it with you to order the new pump. Make sure the parts shop Counterman shows you a picture of the front and the rear to be sure it matches yours. (Gasket will be included)

Your going to have to loosen the timing belt, to replace this water pump it appears. If so, you might consider replacing the timing belt if you have not within the last 60,000 miles. Read up and research how to do this, it's not rocket scientist stuff but it's critical that all the timing marks be alighned when the work is done.

So ahead and pull those plug wires off with needle nose pliers as close to the top of the plugs as you can get to. There is a metal attachment piece inside that rubber boot and that would be best to attempt to yank on. Be prepared to buy new wires. They can be tested by your parts shop personnel to confirm they are good. Mark which wires go where on the cap and on the engine. Put electrical grease (only) on the plugs and you won't have this problem again.

And PLEASE!! no drilling OK?? That's scary talk.

This thread should help you with timing belt.
Timing belt changing write up with some pictures
Important:::
remove pump assembly, then transfer the cover to the new pump & install pump with the cover

this cover to go on the new pump

replace gasket & o-ring from pump kit

replacing the pump while leaving its cover on the engine will cause big leak later
on the car on the picture the pump I changed (by Airtech) had no weep hole so all coolant went into the timing case; replace the idler roller (under water pump) if so.

thanks to the people above for the replys....i have already started this process

one question that was wasnt answered

why are my spark plug tubes siezed inside.... is it due to water pressure??

should i just put some vice grips on that bi*#h and pull??

is this bad?? how bad and what problems could this have caused?

[white90dx]

There is no water associated with the spark plug wires/tubes.

Are you talking about the ends of the wires where they attach to the spark plugs or the metal spark plug tubes that are pressed/screwed into the head?

Anyway, you'll need to get some stronger hands or just pliers of some sort to pull them out. Grab the main part of the boot (with the little ribs on it) and yank upwards. I normally have to use my own hands kinda like a lever to get them to come off (hard to explain).

ok so apperently i got this s.o.b HOT!!!... so now i need to know what problems go along with mealting your spark plug tubes, with this engine being all aluminum what other problems should i look for???

any suggestions for getting the rest of the peices of plugs out??? do i have to pull the valve cover??? where do i go from here???

this is what i got when i pulled my spark plugs:

[Doctor J]

looks like boots are left on the plugs ^ get the spark plug wrench of the hollow tube style 5/8 size and remove plugsthen use shop vac to suck everything out from the spark plug holes (this action may also pull the plugs out).

Hopefully the crank pulley bolt removal will not be a problem if you will use the air impact wrench to get it out

I never had a compressor, Been budget racing for too many years.

I use a long breaker bar and start the engine, never had a crank pulley bolt I couldn't loosen.
