Hey guys i have a 350sbc tpi recently rebuilt,car has not even left the parking lot,i had been experiencing white smoke coming out of the tail pipes thought it may go away after a while however i did not,i knew this meant i had a coolant leak problem somewhere,sure enough i popped my valve covers off today to take a look and there was coolant in the heads the pvc valve also seemed coated in coolant if that gives anything away ?............=[ .Now i ran a pressure test on the car and i did not see any coolant leaking from anywhere visible i have a feeling that i may have a intake gasket leak.

What do you guys think?

 

You HAVE a leak.

 

Sounds like a good chance you are right about the gasket leak.
While the intake is off look very closely for cracks in the block in the lifter-valley area. If the coolant freezes it's a common area for the water-jacket to crack.

More importantly, coolant in your oil will destroy your bearings.

 

yeah i plan on checking my oil tomorrow and seeing what i get....... last time i checked the oil it seemed normal as usual no milk or anything like that.Is it normal to have a intake leak that could leak down to both heads?

 

It only takes one leak. The lifter action in the valley sloshes the coolant everywhere.

 

Drained the oil today seems to have a small green tint to it,i think it will be ok being that i caught it so fast and there are like no miles on the engine.I am going to pop off the intake in a few days hopefully that shows something wrong!

 

coolant + oil = milkshake.... it looks like mud.

 

yeah thats what i have going on,i guess i will just have to start the tear down and see if i can hopefully find my problem!
