My 86 rx7 n/a has a new engine but there is a severe coolant loss. coolant comes out as steam from the exhaust, pushes out of the overflow even though i put a 16 lbs cap on it, and actually floods the rotors with water once i turn the car off. my last rx7 didnt have any problems like this. wondering if anyone else knows what the hell is going on with my car? if someone can help please reply to this or email me at rx786guy@hotmail.com .

 

Blown coolant seals and/or warped rotor housings.

 

I had the same problem with my t2 and it was the water seals,and i had just bought the engine,also

 

where did you get the engine from? was it a rebuilt engine or a used engine? you are going to need another one...

 

the engine is a rebuilt and it came from a shop in sacramento, well rancho cordova. its near the huge rx7 dismantler here.

 

I suggest you go back to them. how my miles have you put on it? did you overheat it at all??

 

my car has overheated several times and i have only put about 5 miles on it. the car refuses to start most the time because the rotors are usually flooded with water.

 

i know i found out today that i had a broken coolant seal or whatever its called how long can a motor last like this? also all my warning lights are staying lit now is there anyway i can fix either of these and if i can how much i know the waterseal i gotta take the motor apart...

 

as soon as you overheat it once there is a good chance your seals are gone. you are going to need a new engine. go back to the guy and hopefully he won't charge you anything or much... it shouldn't have overheated.

 

HELL! You did nothing wrong. The damn fool who built the engine screwed the pooch. Tell 'em I said so. Damn three dollar bills. They owe you another engine and the cost of the time and effort you put into it. Hire Louie to break their legs if they don't make restitution.

 

how long do motors with bad coolant rings last?????

 

It's not a question of how long it will last. That thing is dead already! Go get a new motor from the idiot that built if for you....or rather...get your money back and get an engine from someone who knows what they are doing!
