Default Why is my C6z getting so hot......The Ending

Just a follow up on a previous post as to the cooling issues I was having with my car.

It appears as if I had a cracked crank which caused the rods to rub(creating heat) ultimately the car seized up. We put a new bottom end in and the car runs fine now.

Wow, never would have guessed it. The GM cranks are typically quite good.

Glad you found the cause, but surprised at what it was.
