Housing Probs. (Long Story)
Well as the title suggest I've had some really bad houseing problems latley and haven't been on as much as usual. So here's the story.
About two weeks ago My father and I were coming back from church on sunday and noticed the temp. was high...really high. So we figured the therm. was stuck and left it for the next day where we would go and get the part. Well...my mother and my sister were just coming home from church (they stopped at burger king to buy us somthing to eat) and my sister noticed that there was some "black smoke" coming from the engine, in the mean time my father and I were just getting inside. So my mom and my sister double team my car....My mom opens the hood and my sister had the hose ready and sprays water on the engine sooking it completely from it's still hot state. And as we all guessed it the rear housing craked on the inside letting in antifreeze to the air/fuel equation and ******* the whole engine up to the point where you can't turn the car on with out seeing the white anitfreeze smoke come out of the muffler.
So now I come to you in dismay as today I have taken the last bolt holding my engine down and it's ready to go to the "shop" (my uncle's house) and get rebuilt as a porly treated and uglier 13B takes it's place to get broken in. In the mean time I plan to re wire the engine compartment so that it seems cleaner and hopefully get some new fuel lines in. SO KIDS the moral of the story is....some if not most women lack what we men like to call common sense.

and you drove your car anyway after noticing the temperature was high...really high?
Sorry, seems the lack of common sense runs in the family. Surely you know that because cast iron and aluminum have different expansion coefficients, that overheating a rotary - even once - will drastically decrease engine life and lead to a potentially unreusable engine, right?
a quick search on this board will tell you that you should never, ever, ever run a rotary hot. If the temp spikes, shut down, pull over and don't start it again until it's cooled off.
Honor your father and mother.
*sigh* kids these days.
