Hi everyone,

I have a 93' touring that I have been chasing a cooling problem for about 3 months. Coolant is being pushed out the resivior all the time. I have replaced the thermostat, water pump, radiator, Fan relays, Water pump thermo-switch. Nothing. Still does it. Fans are running. I think my O-rings are shot, I cant come up with anything else that could be it. Any help would be appriciated. If I need to get a new engine, any suggestions as to which place I should get it from? I'm located in CT.

Thanks,

Jason Dean

 

Do the champaign bubble test. If there are bubbles then your coolant seals are gone. If not then you may need to replace the preasure cap.

 

pressure cap fixed me....jack one off someone elses car before you buy one.....the one of my mom moms acura worked just fine

 

What is the champange bubble test?

 

I replaced the capwhen I replaced the water pump already. I do smell a sweet smell in the exhaust.

 

with the cooland pressure cap off... you see tiny little champagne like bubbles......

 

the engine should be running when you do this.

 

pettit racing.............changed out mine in june. stop messin with testin. you've been readin the forum. i too, hoped that my cooling problems were some quik fix thing, but we all know better. start pullin it and get it over with

 

I have the same problem(o-ring failure) I'm going to have Atkins Rotary here in WA state build my dream engine. They sell videos on removing the engine and getting it running. Do the labor yourself save the money for upgrades. Good luck!

 

impactwrench, that's not helping at all.

 

ok I guess i will just order a new engine and swap it out, wont be very difficult I think. thanks guys.
