Blown head gasket?

[Golbez]

Haha, this is kinda funny. My car has been running kinda hot recently. It'll go up to around 210 then cool itself back off to 180. Sometimes I've also noticed a clicking sound for like 3 or 4 minutes after I start it up. I thought it might be a rocker arm needing a readjustment, and actually had an appointment to have it looked at on monday. Anyway, my friend called me yesterday cause his car broke down, lol. I came out there and it looked like his radiator plug just fell off, seriously Ive never seen that happen it was kinda funny, lol. So we went to autozone to look for a plug they didnt have it. THen we went to NAPA, and soon as I pulled into the NAPA parking lot my car just dies. It's totally weird too, cause it sounded like it was choking or couldnt get enough air to fire the pistons. I put it in neutral and let gravity do its thing into a parking spot, lol. Popped open the hood and saw antifreeze in my airbox! My airbox was smoking and I opened it up and it looked like it choked antifreeze out the intake all the way into the airbox! I also checked my oil, and there was antifeeze all mixed in with the oil. Now I know a blown head gasket will do this, but I also know it will spew oil and antifeeze all over the place. Mine wasnt spewing anything, it just coughed it up out of the intake into my airbox, and mixed in with my oil. Now my car wont start and sounds like it cant breath at all. :( Anyone know what this could possibly mean?

so antifreeze came up ur intake out ur tb and into ur airbox?

[shock_core]

your compression is prolly gone so it wont even start up. It wont nessissarly spew stuff everywhere. It will just burn the antifreeze. You either have a cracked block or blown gaskets. :\

If your gasket was blown that bad to dunp that much water through the intake then it would have been running like crap for days before. I would guess that you instead have an antifreeze leak that is dunping it into the intake and going into the motor past the rings and into the pan. Change your oil ASAP befor it runins the bearings. Then see if you can get the cooling system pressure tested for leaks. But you might have hydro locked the motor.

so prolly a cracked block already? damn

[shock_core]

well, its much much much more likely that its your gaskets are blows, or what HBHracing said, that your intake//TB is just dumping crap into your engine. But the only two things i know that would make antifreeze get into your oil is gaskets or cracked block

Ya that sounds like head gaskets. Its been running hot recently so it has been running like crap.

That engine future sounds very dim man, if you caught it early you could be saved her.

Goodluck!

[Golbez]

heh great well luckily if its a cracked block all I'll need would be the shortblock right? Not the whole assembly?

I'm hoping it is my gaskets. Yeah they're right it has been running good and crappy off and on recently... Thats why I was gonna have it looked at, but alas, it will still be looked at just dumped off at the shop with a tow truck. :(

Well if its hydrolocked that means there is coolant and such in the combustion chamber, which means rust and ruining of piston rings. So it ant going to be cheap either way.
