    Does it smell like Coolant because it could be just water coming out of the exhaust. I would assume it would have quite a substantial head gasket leak for it to blow coolant all the way through the exhaust.

      • The only other thing that I can think of besides a major Head gasket leak would be if the engine was bored out and you broke into one of the cooling chambers somehow.

            • Much appreciated, however, I think if i'm going to do that much work I would BP swap. I'm just afraid of pulling one from a JY only to find out it's no good, or needs a bunch of work.

              • My brother is going to be making a trip from sacramento, ca to san antonio, tx I may be able to get him to pick up a motor for me along the way, if anyone on that path has something interesting for a low "festiva" budget i'd be interested!!
