Not the best week for my S2000, after putting a new engine in, it has gone pear shaped :-(
my ownership of my s2000 is not going well, I feel like just scrapping it

Speeding silly amounts of money on a new engine and labour, it not gone well, new engine sourced from eBay
after painstakingly putting everything together, i fired it up for the first time and water started to pissing out of the manifold.

I believe gasket is gone or the knackered bottom end.

Any ideas?

The company I got it from is getting a call from me tomorrow with a piece of my mind!!!

 

What do you mean water is coming out of the manifold? What manifold are you talking about? Can you upload a video or something

This should have nothing to do with a head gasket or bottom end

Thanks

Head cracked or issue with water jacket?

HG could cause this i guess - anyone think the same?

 

So are the pipes on the inlet manifold correctly ? I know there are breathers and coolant channels has a coolant pipe been put on a breather spigot ?


Has the engine been "reconditioned" or was it straight out of a running car ? I'm sure I remember someone mentioning new FRM bores/liners that weren't tall enough to make a seal.

 

I expect a bent rod with that much water entering the engine

100% all the lines are in the correct places? Could you post pictures of each one? Thanks

 

Engine was used,not reconditioned
off a 2003 with 63k on it,and the head looks like
it has been pressure tested before sale,comes with 30day warranty

I will take a birds eye view of the engine and post,
as well as coolant pipes

 

Have you done this kind of work before? I.e mechanic?

 

Im not doing by myself,I got a helping hand from
experienced mechanic

Were can I find a diagram were all the pipes are meant to be connected
