daeron Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 You took the pulleys and belts off to drive the car home???? I dont want to rub anything in, man... but thats disabling the water pump!! you only have a temperature gauge on the water sitting on top of half of your engine, and when the water isnt moving then that "temperature" has only a remote relationship to the actual temperature of your engine. The temp gauge is going to cool off ALOT faster than the engine actually will.. If you didnt blow the headgasket on the drive, if there was no Jeep, if you made it home "safe" I would STILL imagine that your HG would be blowing soon enough. Sometimes its best to just park the car and either tow it, or return with parts to repair. I doubt highly that an EJ engine would have held up any better.
