Water pump cracked on suv and overheated, stuck head

I was driving and i saw my heat gauge start to go up, i never had any problems with this suv i pulled over when it started to overheat shut it off and there was antifreeze pouring out from underneath. i had it towed home, took everything apart, and the water pump was cracked. i replaced it and was getting ready to put belt back on and noticed the right head wouldn't turn at all. i moved the crankshaft about a millimeter to the left and then back to the right to make sure on time and then did the same to the left head and then when i tried the right, driver side, head it wouldn't budge. i dnt know if it overheating caused this or if something else did or if it has to be together to turn. if anyone knows anything that i could bennifit from i would greatly appreciate it. it is the 3.2 liter and has 130,000. and also if anyone knows anything about the fuel guage suddenly dropping to e and not working that would be greatly appreciated too thanks,.....

ENGINE: ok 3.2L but there are 3 V6 engines. 2 in 3.2L size.
6VD1 (SOHC) free running,
6VD1w (DOHC) belt snap should safe here. gears, put wrong IDK.
you didnt de-mesh the 2 cam gears , right?

6VE1(DOHC) 3.5L (not free running) in last DI form. last year.



the pump seized its bearings the iT CRACKED
the engines power can do that, !
ever heard of DOHC engine before?
and interference engine and how to deal with them?
seems not.


step 8 in cam belt off says
"WARNING Align the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets with their alignment marks before removing the timing belt. Failure to align the belt and sprocket marks may result in valve damage."

the experts say, all are free running but the 3.5L direct injected engine,but the VVT may have problems too, 2004?
never turn a VVT engine backwards.
i can not speak for if the 2 cams on one head the gears are set wrong, some heads on some engines can crash intake row of valves in to adjacent exhaust valve. (wrong assemble only)
be careful,.

SOURCE: 94 isuzu trooper turn key fuel pump runs for 2sec.and shuts off?

Can you hear a click during that 2 secounds? Thats the relay shutting off the pump just what its suppost to do. The pump does not run contenuosly, if it did it would burn up, thats what the relay is for, it kicks on and off to maintain the correct pressure to engine as needed. It will not turn back on until it resets itself because engine was not running, thats the way there designed.

SOURCE: 1996 Rodeo overheating

Check to see if there is water in the oil...If there is water in the oil then it could have a head gasket problem..Did you ever replace the thermostat? If it is stuck then it would also cause overheating...Excessive exhaust backpressure because of a clogged catalytic converter could also cause overheating..Also check belt tension and condition. A loose belt that slips may prevent the water pump from circulating coolant fast enough and/or the fan from turning fast for proper cooling...Another thing it could be is a faulty Water pump -- Any wobble in the pump shaft or seepage would call for replacement. In some instances, a pump can cause an engine to overheat if the impeller vanes are badly eroded due to corrosion or if the impeller has come loose from the shaft. The wrong pump may also cause an engine to overheat. Some engines with serpentine drive belts require a special water pump that turns in the opposite direction of those used on the same engine with ordinary V-belts... Also check the Fan -- With mechanical fans, most overheating problems are caused by a faulty fan clutch, though a missing fan shroud can reduce the fan's cooling effectiveness by as much as 50% (depending on the fan's distance from the radiator) which may be enough to cause the engine to overheat in hot weather or when working hard.

SOURCE: Trooper Overheating

Your radiator efficiency has been reduced by (what is called) blossoming. Blossoming is electrolytic growth of crystals inside radiator duct passages. This typically occurs in the older Troops as gradual overheating probs cause the vehicle to run low on coolant, then water is being used to top off system repeatedly, acid levels in cooling system rise as the coolant protectants degrade and the inside of the radiator ducts 'blossom' with small crystalline growths that reduce the radiators flow and ability to cool the engine. Flushing and blowing out the radiator are temporary fixes. Replacing the radiator is the permanent fix. You did the right thing by replacing the water pump, tstat and radiator cap. An old, original water pump usually fails soon after the radiator is replaced. New Trooper radiators are fairly cheap, $85+. The replacement can be done by any backyard mechanic or DIYer in under and hour. You know the typical warnings about the toxicity of antifreeze and the deadly affects on pets who drink improperly disposed coolant. Good luck to you. It's an easy remove and replace. Your Trooper will thank you with many cool running miles. -Geoff

SOURCE: 1991 Isuzu Trooper. Recently my truck simply

Disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filter. Turn the car on for the pump to be on. If you are getting gas pumped out, then your pump is good. If not there's most likely your problem. Then try the line at the engine. Disconnect and see if the gas is making it that far. Your should also be able to hear the pump come on if you open the gas cap and listen while someone turns the key to the on position.

2004 Audi a4 1.8T quattro has overheating engine problems but no heat is working when we turn on the heater

goodyear are tyre mechanics
water in the oil is from a hole in the housing (aluminium timing chain cover ) behind the water pump impeller or problem head
before anything was replaced , a compression test should have been done to determine the condition of the head and head gasket
next a coolant pressure test should have been done to determine if there was a leak in the cooling system ( the housing crack would have been obvious at the test
water pumps always work if there is water for them to work in and only need replacing if there is a water leak from a hole in the housing ( seal failure ) or there is a failed bearing noise
I could suggest that you find an accredited professional service center that has experience on your make of car and get a proper diagnosis before you waste any more time and money on tire mechanics

While driving on the highway yesterday, my son's 2003 dodge durango over heated, the temperature gauge on the dashboard was not reading hot, we noticed a ticking sound from the engine, so I ask my son...

is the engine turning over? if not, then you may have expansion of the pistons which have lock them selfs in the bore of the cylinders and because you found the oil diluted with water you may have failed bearings, you may also have had water leak into the cylinder because of a blown head gasket creating a hydraulic lock. in this case remove spark plugs and try cranking engine if any water was traped it will come true the plug holes. Now if the engine is turning over when you try to crank the you may have blown head gasket and posibly a warp or cracked cylinder head. Seeing that you all had a faulty temp gauge or sending unit, that engine may have to be remove and torn down to find the extent of damage done. remove head first check for cracks,flatness and preasure test it.

My 1999 dodge neon is overheating and just changed water pump and thermostat radiator. No leaks and no water in oil. Changed thermostat again and same problem . How can you tell if water pump is bad and...

Last time I had this problem I had a cracked head. With the cap off the radiator, run the engine at idle to operating temperature. When your looking in the radiator you should see the water circulating if the water pump is working. When you say the motor is over heating, if you have fluid coming out of the over flow hose then yes you are most likely overheating, if you are just seeing the gauge indicate you are over heating you may just have a bad engine temp sensor.

2002 malibu runs hot.

Sounds like you have a faulty head gasket or maybe a cracked head.This can cause overheating and the check engine light to come on.The code for the o2 sensor is probably caused by coolant getting into the exhaust system and coating the sensor.The coolant fan may work but it cannot remove enough heat from the rad to make the engine cool off.Try some engine coolant stop leak to see if it will help.This maybe only a temperary fix.Let me know if you need more.MOE

89 nissan pulsar vector (auto),overheating problem.Had Thermostat & housing changed because they were corroded,also radiator hoses have been replaced.Flushed out the radiator & filled with fresh...

well any thing near to the red could and most likley would crack the heads, if there not all ready cracked!
if the gear box is working fine and it drives ok
i think you should first look at your water pump but you may have a blown head gasket thats why it boiles up on you could take it to the repair shop and ask them to do a " snifer test" it checks the water in the rad to see if there is any hydro carbon's in it if there are its a head gasket blown or a cracked head!
these hydro carbond's come from burning fule only and if any hot gases from any head gasket's or cracked head's are getting into the water jackets there will be some in there,,
its a common test to do first,,
it turns the test blue or red! then have a compreshion test done that could also pick up a blown head gasket
what ever happens you must not let that engine get over heated or it will do far more damage than just crack the heads ,,,,,,,and if im right
(which i think i am) when that gasket go's pop it will boile over in seconds not minuets watch it closly

Bmw 728i over heating problem

The thermostat and water pump are both common failure points on BMW 6-cyl engines of this era. I would recommend checking the thermostat first, then moving on to the water pump. If the vehicle has overheated several times, you may need to remove the cylinder head and have it checked for warp.

Overheating when idleling

Its not impossible for there to be a bad head gasket or leaking. But I agree with you the over heating will be there during driving as well. I would change the fan clutch and replace the thermostat, if the thermostat that was replaced wasn't an oem/delaer thermostat, I would change it. From prior experience with these type of vehicle the most likely cause of overheating thermostat and fan clutch. Aftermarket thermostat just aren't good for this vehicle I have proved it a few times for myself. Take my advise and change the thermostat with an oem one and the fan clutch with an oem. Good Luck. Get in contact with me if you need more help.
