new motor installed.....HELP

I got my motor from Nippon-Motors last week. spent all night putting it in, cranked it up at 8 o'clock in the morning, it took 5 minutes just to get it started. then it started to get hot . i killed it and now when it cranks it blows air out the cooland and the coolant resevoir bubbles. and wont start. I was pissed and tired ..
The motor was shipped with no thermastat. But it did come with a 3 puck clutch and HKS plugs.

Any ideas...?

uh oh... spaghettio...

in my opinion,
it sounds like the coolant seals are gone! (causes combustion pressure to force air through the coolant lines) usually happens when the engine is over-heated.. sometimes involves warped housings / rotors..

you either bought a dud engine.. or overheated it..
