So, water comes out of the passenger side exhaust pipe and the engine cannot idle........

What next? i assume my block is cracked.... its weird since i wasnt doing anything abnormal it just started BANGING.... but i noticed since i got my marauder... theirs always been a little knock in the engine..... nobody could tell me what it was

Hope for the Head gasket...

A blown Head Gasket could be the culprit also...

Look at your coolant tank...See bubbles when trying to idle and/or start the car?

The block maybe fine...

Best of luck...

Most likely a blown head gasket.

If it is a cracked block...WOW!...:eek:

Water ... or Coolant? If it is a headgasket problem or a cracked block you should get an unmistakeable coolant odor from the exhaust. Water from condensation in the tips is not all that unusual.
