ok the other night i raced a guy. on the way home my car started to go past normal operating temp. today i looked under the car and right where the oil pan is, on the ground was water/antifreeze. so i filled up my radiator, cranked up the car with the rad. cap off and water was coming out of the radiator, along with air bubbles. can anyone tell me what the problem is. Thanks.

Before you are jumping to any conclusions, make sure you inspect around your engine (like coolant hoses , the coolant thermostat housing, the mating area of the head and block where headgasket sandwiched) to see if any coolant leaking from or around those areas.. Next check each cylinder by taking out each sparkplug out and shining a light down to inspect if any moisture or coolant inside or on top of piston. Get access of a radiator pressure tester and test if pressure is holding and no air leaking, look on your haynes manual. Could be a thermostat or hose...hopefully not your headgasket.

like they said check all plugs
my suggestion is that you probably revved the shit out of it and probably cracked the radiator

head gasket and water pump. If the system has air in it, the air got in somehow..

u might just have a loose hose somewhere. check for leaks.

This.

Nope, sure haven't. Have I played around on open roads? Yes, quite a while ago, and it was dangerous and illegal. And I was never stupid enough to talk about it on the internet.

Back in where days?
Someone mentioned hg earlier. This is probably a headgasket. Similarly, a wp is probably the water pump, mentioned earlier.

back when u was like 18, 19.its hard to believe that ppl on here say they havent never raced in their life. i dont believe it. people are like i hope u wreck your car or blow your motor. if there were no cars around or people around i dont see the harm. but whatever ppl can say what they want. thanks though for helping me out.
