which caused crakin of raidiator..
i was 5mins from home and oil light startin to blink so i stopped by near autozone, pop the hood check the engine oil, and it was ok
raidiator was cracked leakin like hell,
bought coolant filled it up, and drove an other 1-2 miles, car stopped so i called AAA towed the car home, thinkn i need new raidiator for h22(i had 14yrs old f22 raidiator) so i got denso h22 raidiator, will be here 2mmorow
but some saYS engine might be fried, ihope not1!!!
right after car stopped, i tried to strat engine, it was soundin OK,
n today i check to see what'sup n tried to turn engine for test, it makes different sound
what might be problem, if it is more than raidiator..
should i need new head..? or block..?

did the car overheat while you were driving it? i HOPE you were keeping a very close eye on the temp gauge while you were driving with lost coolant...

if it overheated too high, it may have blown your headgasket.

cant really know for sure until you fix it and try driving it again.

Oil light is for oil pressure not oil level, it means something's going on that's not good.. If you were super low on oil as in not even a drop on the bottom of the dipstick then maybe the light would come on because the pressure would be off, but still it's not a good sign. change the rad then see what happens, maybe you hit your oil pan as well, or something other than the rad.

Good luck, hope things work out.

If you managed to crack your radiator then chances are you had to damage the oil pan some how, You could have dented it right where the oil pickup is, causing oil starvation. But if you check your oil the level will be fine.

Dosen't the oil pan sit a little lower than your radiator? So if you hit radiator and oil pan sits lower than radiator.........finish my trail of thoughts

I agree with bruno, oil pan is definitely the first thing to check, even though it may not be leaking it could have easily been hit hard enough to cause oil pressure / starvation issues. Hopefully you can find the problem without having to drive it much more without knowing what's up.

It's kinda hard to say, you really got try to diagnose it and tell us more symptoms.

thank you guys

i don worry that much. bc i have new SI but i was gonna use cb7 as 4dr sleeper/crusier, when i need to pick up peeps or everyday task..
ii just feel bad, BC i ve decide to give new life(even newpaint n h22/23 tranny, maybe even 5ps conversion) few days ago but this happend
anyways
ma engine oil level is about 1/3 or 1/4 inch higher than top indicate hole of dipstick...
means, got little more oil than i should, would that cause big problems..?
anyways thank you guys for help
i love yall n this forum..

if you did dent the oil pan the oil levle would raise a bit cause ther less space now but my guess is you dented the pan around the pickup tube blocking the tube causing starvation and fried some things....i hope not tho i hope it all works out



is the engine louder then b4???

[jhondayaaj]

you may have dented the oil pan really good. take a quick peak.

if you're not careful..you might spin some bearings! trust me...something happend to my OLD tan Cb7...oil light blinked 2 times...it clinked and clanked for a few seconds and it was gone!

what happend....sludge got into the oil tube.and clogged it..and it oil starved..and spun 2 bearings..needless to say..I tore that car apart and gave it to the junkyard for $80 ....if I didn't have to work .....I would've taken MORE parts off!
