I have an 87 toyota pick up 22R 5 speed. My problem is husband put a rebuilt engine in it. Now water comes out of the tail pipe. We have changed the intake manifold 3 times, the head, and all gaskets twice. Any idea as to what could be causing this to happen? :(

Maybe a crack cylinder block

Have it block and pressure tested-do the block first to pinpoint a combustion leaking into the cooling system or a gas analyzer to sniff for hydrocarbons at the radiator fill neck.

Pressure test: do not do a pressure test if there's leakage at the headgasket this might cause coolant into the cylinders and lock it up or bend a connecting rod if cranked thereafter. The headgasket should be repaired before doing the pressure test.
