Default WTF is this mess, a pool in my intake.

Can someone shed some data on how this coolant made a pool in my intake manifold?
And this spark plug slammed a hole in its piston?

Was driving high RPMS and car just died no noise no nothing just lost power.

Thank you
James

It sounds like your timing belt broke and caused the piston damage. The antifreeze in your intake manifold could have happened because of this damage or a gasket failed.

Thank you Chuck. I had not got into it that far too see if the belt was ok.

I had that belt redone 6 months ago.

Had the Power steering hoses done 1 month ago and the alternator replaced
1 week ago.

Any suggestions on how to possibly fix this w/o a new engine put in?


Thank you

I would troubleshoot the belt and piston damage and take it from there but it sounds serious enough to warrant replacing the engine or parts of it (short block, head(s), piston(s), etc.).
