really hard to get a photo of it...but here's the best i got..

looks like oil..







Im guessing this could be my burning oil on start up problem..thats sort of a relief..but what about overheating?

 

Judgment pending pressure test.

 

i dont need a pressure test anymore...i got it this time


cooling ports on the front of the intake were blocked off...i pulled my intake today and sure enough..coolant was able to squeeze by in a little pin hole..

 

looks like the name of this thread turned out to be right after all.

im more than a little surprised you didn't have a much worse overheating problem though, but im glad you got it going

 

yea me2...well now she idles at a solid 3K or 4K depending on how its feeling at the moment....wtf!


i was so careful doing the gaskets... will this crap ever end?

 

glad u found one of the problems. so the gaskets were put on backwards?

 

yea apparently the ones that came in the kit had the rear ports blocked...but the ones i had from advance didnt, it had both sides open....they looked exactly the same minus that key feature.

 

Note to self:
Posting before reading the last post is unwise and a waste of time.

 

ok ok, i got it for real this time...car runs good now...accidently flopped the runners amazingly enough...oops. Well anyway i ran it around and found teh back of the intake was leaking oil..so i had to pul it all apart again and now everything is perfect..no more overheating..idles nice..and no blowing out oil

 

Nice to hear some one got their cooling issues sorted out
