Coolant temp sensor blow out
To reply, he gave the option of a used built 350 out of his El Camino or a new one. Said there was no warranty on the one he had (didn't specify it was both on labor and on parts) partially my fault for not inquiring further. My brother would verify that the engine was running good in the El...- Dm03n

Coolant temp sensor blow out
Didn't think of the insurance avenue thank you. I'll explore that option. Yes that's precisely what it seems like he did. I live in the greater Seattle area and have been hit and had 5 small cars totalled... In the last 4 years. I'd be homeless if I didn't have full coverage.- Dm03n

Coolant temp sensor blow out
Btw thank you everyone for your feedback. I really appreciate it. Seriously thought I was going crazy or I had some incredible rare bad luck. Couldn't find a single thing about it via Google.- Dm03n

Coolant temp sensor blow out
Thank you. I drove it precisely 1 mile to the rest stop before I had it towed back to him. He sold me the motor as well. I was hoping it was just oil spraying out of the valve cover due to the filler cap coming apart and what seemed to me to be excessive visible blow-by. Cleaned it all off...- Dm03n

Unfortunately it was the first thing I checked. Both hoses were hot.- Dm03n

Coolant temp sensor blow out
He definitely has. I wanted to see if anyone has ever had that sensor pop out for anything other than it being improperly installed. Going to end up going through the entire engine at this point. I will check that as well thank you.- Dm03n

Coolant temp sensor blow out
Didn't notice it but I'll have to double check. Checked the valve cover gasket and it's not from there, but there was metal flakes mixed with oil sludge underneath. It appears to be coming from the driver back side of the motor and going down the exhaust pipe and blowing up onto my booster...- Dm03n

Coolant temp sensor blow out
Everything was intact though. The threads from the adapter (cyl head to sensor) and threads on sensor. It didn't make sense to me either outside of an improper installation. Now my heads are pissing oil/coolant out the driver side.- Dm03n

Coolant temp sensor blow out
Help. Trying to understand. Has anyone ever heard of the brass temp sensor blowing out of the engine head? A mechanic replaced my engine, drove it 35 miles and the coolant temp sensor blew out. The temp gage showed 220ish just before it blew dumping all the coolant out. Was able to screw the...- Dm03n
