SCV6 overheated and then catastrophe
That is the million dollar question! WHAT HAPPENED lol. I don’t have the ability/tools anymore to do any of the rebuild work myself, so that option is out. I’m narrowed down to a complete new engine or a complete remanufactured/rebuilt engine to be swapped in. I really like the car and if it... -

SCV6 overheated and then catastrophe
That’s what makes this hard. Even the guys at the shop said it is the nicest and cleanest example of this car they have ever seen or worked on. It’s in near excellent condition inside and out cosmetically speaking, and up until this major issue, it was running great and everything works as it... -

Thanks. I have only been able to get info on the TAPA reman Stage 2 engines out of CA. But no luck actually talking to anyone that has gone that route. They want $12k for the engine, and I am still looking at quotes for labor from a couple shops. For humor I always like to ask the dealer what... -

Hey everyone, quick update from the shop... I spoke with the technician about what is going on and went over the car with him to visually connect the dots. Attached is a video of the coolant bubbling out of the overflow bottle while the engine is turning over. The consensus from the techs are... -

SCV6 overheated and then catastrophe
Here is the work done the day prior to the incident. Doesn’t say anything about coolant, and nothing was discussed in regards to that. In the few seconds from the overheating warning to shut down, there were no other warning lights that came up. The engine had some stumbling and I guess you... -

This is all excellent info guys. I really appreciate the input and feedback! I don’t know for certain that the engine is seized. The computer shut it down seconds after the overheat warning came on, and I coasted to the side of the road. The wind and turbulence in the engine bay could explain... -

Thanks for all the replies. I am going to the shop on Monday and will get some pics to post here for more input. I found the receipt and parts list for the previous work on the cooling system. I’ll post the pic of it here. I very specifically remember talking about and agreeing with them... -

SCV6 overheated and then catastrophe
Thanks. We are discussing having the car taken to another shop for a somewhat unbiased opinion on the diagnosis. I agree with what you’re saying about covering tracks, and I’m also trying to stay logical in that I have had a good relationship with this shop and not experienced any lack of... -

Hi Joe, I did not get the old parts from them after the previous work was completed. This is the same shop. The latest update is that they don’t see any exterior hoses, clamps, pumps, gaskets, etc or other areas that would identify as ‘the leak is from here’... and this pertains to the coolant... -

Thanks for the reply, both crossover pipes were replaced. They weren’t both leaking, but we discussed the scope of work prior to the repairs made and I requested that they replace anything that could be related to the cooling issues so as to not have trouble with them later. I got a call... -
