Overheating + smoking out tailpipe on completely stock motor is usually caused by blown head gasket.

Do compression check, report back.

If you are a tech this should be easy as hell to diagnose.

Your previous threads have shown your lack of initiative, please get some if you intend to stay.

overheating + smoke + squirting coolant = compression being forced through witch is a blown head gasket.

compression test it. KA could have died. did you check if it's getting spark or even fuel?

Hard to believe your a technician, sorry, but yes as both of them said above me, compression test it, wouldn't be surprised if the head gasket is DONE for.

I'm sorry i just laughed at your screen name. lol...

but seriously....my wife can change oil she's no technician...hell, i've replaced 99% of the parts myself, and I'm definitely not a technician. lol.

your KA is dead. The mad scientist now has to replace the rings you just fried. Was that fun?
