So I pick my car up from paint. Start driving home. Car is over heating. Pull over throw in some anti freeze.

Start driving, it seems ok then ping HOT HOT HOT. So I pull over pop hood, looks like antifreeze is shooting out of the block. Great Dunno how thats possible. Deff looked like it though. Guess I just wasnt thinking clearly because I was heated and so was my motor.


I was suppose to throw in one of my rebuilt s14 motors a few days ago anyways. So I say fuck this motor to hell.

Start driving gauge looks like its about to spin around. So I think to myself.... I WANT TO BLOW THIS UP RIGHT NOW. Get on a open country road and let her loose.

It gets good and hot.I am wondering the whole time why is this bastard not smoking? Get home. Check oil, it seems perfect. Hmmm apparently a hose blew open because the thermostat was stuck closed.


Threw out the thermostat and changed hose. Runs perfect.


I have no idea how I did not blow the head gasket or something else for that matter. Compression also checked out the same as it did before.


I know people who have over heated their KA once and the head gasket went. Not to mention all the other stories I have read about.

What a champ this one is.

Edit: When all was said and done. Parked car, locked it. Walked half way into my yard. Horn went off and got stuck
