Need a engine that runs and doesnt smoke for my 2002 protege5. Dual cam 2.0L my email is xlbrighton3lx@aim.com or PM me on here

Ok guys put a new head on my p5, got it all hooked up and it wont start. Determined that there is no spark, what would cause this? Also the temp gauge goes up to hot when i turn the key on, im guessing theres a bad coolant temp sensor or sender... would this cause the spark issue? thanks

anyone lol

Ok i got the engine broke down... the head is going to the shop to get the valves redone and i am putting new pistons/rings in the bottom end. Before i tore the engine down... i discovered the reason the car would no longer run is because the coilpacks are not sparking.. anyone know the reason...

wanna get rid of that engine :)

..

and i find the parts where??

where to find a speed motor or parts?

Valves have warped and car wont start anymore..

I have looked under the car and there is a small oil leak right under(kinda behind) the exhaust manifold on the left side. I never noticed the leak because its leaking on the skid plate and not on the ground. I still dont think its leaking very badly tho. I havent checked the plugs but i will...

Alright i will do this in the morning possibly.. i want to get this car running good so bad. It a awesome looking car, ill post some pics up for you guys :) thank you very much for your help. i will keep this updated as soon as i find whats wrong.

Alright ill do a compression and leak down this week. Which one means what is wrong tho? I guess compression means rings ,and leak down means valve seals? Correct me if im wrong please! thanks so much for all the help guys.
