jeff i think your right i guess im gonna have to get this engine rebuild. and im going to find the ******* that sold me this engine and try to get my money back or just kick his *** lol lol . i dont know why could people be such *******. do you know how much the coolant seals cost, and how much will it cost to replace them

 

The coolant seals themselves are not too expensive. But they require the engine to be be pulled and disassembled to replace, and if you are going to do that much work, you should have it rebuild while its out. Depending on wheather you will do the work yourself or have a shop do it will be a huge difference in the cost. The rebuild kit itself could cost $900-$1000, plus the cost of labor a shop would charge could cost as much as $3000 if not more, depending on if you had them pull and install the engine.

Not sure what you're going to do, but here are a few web sites that offer rebuild kits/rebuilds.

If you could pull the engine yourself, then send it to someone to do the actual rebuild, it would cost less then having a shop do all the work; plus you would get the benefit of having a someone who really knows what their doing rebuild your engine. The only problem would be shipping, but if you live in cali like your profile says, you should be able to find a good shop close to you.

 

thanks jeff check this out tell me if this sound weird to you well i got a new 3 row radiator oh well the car did the same thing, so i got mad and desperate so i got my 92 4 port turbo motor and i took the water pump and housing out and put it in my 87 6 port motor. so i took out the one the 6 port had remember this housing has a brand new water pump then the car turn on fine it dossen't shoot water anymore thru the radiator and now if i let the car idle for minutes and shut it off, now it will turn on first key try. what do u guy's think about this to me it was weird

 

fack!....this is happening to my car. Good excuse for an ls1

 

did u check your water pump or radiator

 

I had the water pump checked out,that was fine. What should I be looking for in the radiator? leaks or clogs

 

mostly clogs take off the radiator cap, turn the car on and see if that water is flowing freely thru the radiator if it starts to bubble your radiator might be clog.

 

That sounds pretty weird, but I'm glad it wasnt something drastic like a bad coolant seal.

 

thanks jeff

 

when doing your compression test do it on the leading plug and let it crank 4 to 5 times

 

i did that it reads 70 but my tester is not that good
