engine is dying, need some helps
 
:(

seems like the gasket in the front rotor is broken, so it's very hard to start up, just like flooded. But with a shit load of white smokes, and it tend to start up jerking, have to keep giving gas for a while to get all the water out of the engine.

the front spark plugs are easily gone, just replaced for 2 months. I am thinking that coolant is leaking in to the rotor I think, but not sure, any quick fix? put some stop engine leaking thing?

need help

:(

if I were you I would just do a rebuild now before I hurt something.

I would not want to risk hydrolock on a cold start with water in the combustion chamber - it could pop an apex seal very easily and scrape up the housings pretty badly.

I gues you can try the sealer stuff, not much to lose now.


How many miles are on it and what engine?

it's just a 90 N/A, not worth to rebuild, is it?

i got 120K on the engine, figure out it should be about time to rebuild, but no $$$$$. damn

by the way, if rebuild is the option, any good shop around SF area? I mean a cheap one

Hate to say it, you probally have about a few months at MOST left on that engine. Better not drive it anymore till you can replace the engine. Look around on line. You can pick up a series 5 (89-91) n/a engine for $300-$950 bucks, if you want to avoid rebuild. Good luck!
