I'm going to try and make this short. I got a 1995 B18b from a company. They will pickup the shipping back to them and refund my money if that's what I decide to do.

I started to drain the coolant from the block. The coolant was burnt. I have never smelt anything like it. Small to medium sized metal/cast shavings were coming out.







Pulled the oil pan, filter and baffle plate.



Yum! The company thought it was the water pump. So I pulled the water pump tonight and it seems to be fine. The outside of the sleeves where the coolant passages are has scraps for lack of a better term.





















What are your thoughts? What would you do? I might just say fsck pulling the head tonight and send it back tomorrow.

This motor is/was going to see boost.
