Def the waterpump or waterpump gasket.... If ur oil is normal color and doesn't look like chocolate milk ur good

 

[RedOctoberS13]

ok yea i checked the oil and it was fine. good i thought it was the headgasket

Yea buy a new waterpump From advance they usually come with new gaskets and they are like 30$

i've run 3 240's for the past 3 years with no thermo and never had any problems. but i HAVE had problems with thermostats breaking and causing overheating.. just sayin

 

[steveka-t]

i run no thermo and my whore still kicks it

 

[alibaba]

I've had 2 240's in the last 6 years,ka and sr, I've never taken out the thermostat n I've never had any problems, car companies put em there for a reason n its probably to try n get the car to operating temperature as fast as possible for it to run properly.

I say keep it

 

[RedOctoberS13]

replaced both the thermostat and water pump today and my 240 iis running like new. thanks for all the help
