Well I broke it again....

Figured I would take her our for one last spin before I decide to store her. And about a block from home I noticed her getting hot.....hotter than usual. Pulling in the driveway and Im in the red on my guage.

I pop the hood, coolant everywhere. I let it cool down and when I come back out I start to look her over.

And I noticed that the waterpump bolts have backed off about 1/4 inch. All on their own....that normal?
