Hey guys motor overheated today. Found out from my friend I bought it from that the water pump had gone out before I bought it. Yay for me. I reached down after it wouldn't start and wiggled spark plugs and one feels very loose however I can't pull it straight out. Could I have blown the spark plug through the block?? And torn all the threads out???
Also I am looking for a spare motor. Where can I get one or does anyone in the Pacific Northwest have one or two N/A motors for sale??
Oh and because I the failed water pump could that have fried my coolant seals cause I keep getting bubbles coming up through the radiator cap??

 

No.
Some idiot forgot to tighten it before...

ok but what about the bubbles in the radiator cap when it's off.

 

Do I need to do a rebuild??? And if so where can I order the kit for it so I can get started.

 

It is best to always go OEM when rebuilding, of course, that is my personal preference. Mazdatrix sells the rebuild kit.

 

OK thanks for the info.
