R.i.p. D16a6

[Marc-OS]

Today at 7:12a.m. after 3 months of running without coolant, and a broken water pump my trusty d16a6 has died. She lived for 169,088 miles before finally giving up, 700 miles of which she ran without coolant and a working water pump. Today is a sad sad day.

On a better note, my b16 swap should be done fairly quickly now that I can't use the rex anymore.

i can understand the water pump...but no coolant? were you trying to kill it

good luck with the swap!

Actually, i tried putting coolant in, but it leaked out as fast as i could pour it in. So after awhile I just gave up putting coolant in.

I was beating on my motor so bad when my b16 came in

please have patience with me. i'm curious by nature.

it was leaking out?!?! are we talking a leak you knew where it came from? like radiator or hoses. or was it an internal leak as in you put in coolant and it magically disappeared? like a head gasket.

i'm thinking head gasket since you said it "broke". i don't see a radiator hose "breaking" an engine :hehe: depending on whats wrong or what happened i might want it if you don't want it laying around. and you're close enough to drive up. if you see me on AIM, hit me up.
