:lol:

coolant in my oil...i found coolant laying behind the lower intake, so i think it may have cracked the intake/blown an intake gasket...just hoping its not a head gasket. i wouldve gotten further on it today, but i dont have those stupid clamshell thingys to take off the fuel lines. once i get them i can go right to pulling off the lower intake and see whats up. :-x

edit: dont mind my delicious homemade onion pizza to the left

[baddest434]

that blows matt! hope it's not something to serious.

[69BirdX]

that does suck but atleaast 5.0 motors are cheap to work on

[Tru2Chevy]

Hopefully it's just the intake gaskets, but I'm sure it will be up and running soon either way.

[GP99GT]

even if the intake is cracked...thats just an excuse to upgrade to an eddy or trickflow intake ;)

[LTb1ow]

even if the intake is cracked...thats just an excuse to upgrade to an LT1 or LS1 ;)

Good choice! :mrgreen:

[GP99GT]

Good choice! :mrgreen:

[NastyEllEssWon]

All kidding aside, that sucks man :( Hopefully it's nothing major.

[nj85z28]

damn that sucks! and you just got it back from JS too

[1slowEscort]

:[

well my emoticon sums it up haha. i have a stock upper and lower if u need it till u get the upgrade, and the fuel line remover is like $5 from autozone. lemme know if u need nething

[JSPERFORMANCE]

Dont be too hard on the thing, it did have a guess of around 200,000 miles on the shortblock am I right Matt?

In his defense Matt knew what he was getting into when he chose to install a rather large blower and better top end on an engine with an unknown amount of mileage. Worst case scenario it needs a shortblock, nothing he had us do would be wasted..

Whatever the problem is I can guarantee that when it is fixed this car will be no joke.. If there is anything we can do to help you have the number Matt.

j/k, It's a shame, hopefully you just blew a minor gasket, and not the head gasket. Does that have head studs in it?

[GP99GT]

a mild H/C/I 408 would make more hp and tq than my blown 302, for comparison :lol:

[nj85z28]

i think you should have it taken back down to Josh and have him do the shortblock up the right way

[GP99GT]

Good luck. You may have cracked the welds on the intake.

[GP99GT]

well its off but i dont see anything really wrong...only thing i really noticed was that some of the bolts were barely tight :o

i was going to retorque them like josh told me to...but people kept asking for rides :lol:

heres what it looks like now...any ideas? gaskets all looked alright besides getting a little mangled from the RTV around the water ports, and i dont see any cracks in the intake manifold itself. just a nice milky mess.

I noticed this bit of water behind the intake before i took anything off:

lol if only right

[JSPERFORMANCE]

Keep looking, something had to let that coolant in. If you don't find anything with the head gaskets get the heads checked..

[LTb1ow]

!coolant mod.

No coolant = no leaks.

:)

[JL8Jeff]

If there's no problem with the head gaskets then I would guess something is cracked somewhere to let that much coolant in. How did the spark plugs look? If one is a lot cleaner than the others, then that would be the cylinder where the problem is.

This kind of 408? :lol:
