Re: Seeking advice - rebuilt engine failed within 1,000 miles

Lots of bubbles in the coolant sounds like a headgasket or cracked head or block. Water in the tailpipe is normal when first started but not after it has been running for a while. Check the oil, if it's creamy, you have a real problem. I'm not sure, but if your intake manifold leaks you could also get water inside the cylinders. If a compression test shows low one one or two ajacent cylinders you probably need a head gasket and need the heads checked for warping.
