I Did A Swap Into My 92 Hatch With A B16a2 Block And A Gsr Head. The Swap Is Completed, But When We Started The Car, It Revs Fine But When Held At A Certain Rpm The Motor Sounds Like It Is Breaking Up And We Had That Radiator Cap Off And Water And Steam Comes Out Of It Really High In The Air. I Dont Know What This Means. I Need Help Desperately. Thanks

Oh Damn, That Sounds Really Bad. By The Way, Why Do You Capitalize The First Letter Of Each Word Like This?

Look At Your Oil, See If It Has A Creamy Frothy Look To It. From A Guess Judging By What You Said I Would Probably Point The Finger At The Head Gasket. But I Could Easily Be Wrong...

Don't Get Mad About My Typing, Just Joking Around. :smile:

lol i dont know why the typing did that. i wasnt doing that on purpose... but anyways, we checked the head gasket. we knew that since it was a b16a block that there may have been a gsr head gasket on it which would cause that but we switched it to a b16a gasket and it still did the same thing. i have no idea what it can be other than the block may be warped. but im trying to find a simpler solution that i can do to possible fix it b4 i take it to a machine shop. if anyone comes across any other ideas, please let me know thanks alot!!!
