Well i just got to my brothers. 300km away.... i was stuck in heavy traffic for abit and the engine hit like the boiling point for abit.. now its got this loud rattle or clicking sound that wont go away... Possible timing chain? My engine was pretty hot when i got to his place i let it cool down for abit and its still has the clicking.... What do you guys think? I need some help with this one!
Thanks in advance

You just let it sit there and melt?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> I can't count how many times I've read "the temp gauge was all the way up for a while...what's this white smoke now?" Do you people not get it? If your car is overheating...pull over and shut it off. I'm not trying to be an ass here, but you're asking a fairly straightforward question. You overheated the car, and now something internally is messed up. Any number of things could be wrong. You can keep driving it and wait for it to take a bigger shit on you, or you can take it to a real mechanic and have him diagnose it. Or you can just give up on that turd of an engine and swap in a KA24DE or SR20DET (like I did). <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
