I am using a Victor Jr intake. Motor sucked in the gasket from the top side of the engine on deceleration from high rpms. So when I replaced the gaskets I put a bead of the Right Stuff on the top side of the gaskets after I torqued the intake.
Knock on wood, no recurring problem |
Oil looked fine, water looked fine, however on cranking over with the intake removed it puffed out the water jacket aft of No. 8: figured headgasket...Now after buttoning the whole mess up i think i am seeing coolant; Either i F'd up the headgasket install in exactly the same place as the problem or i have a cracked head...
Feels like i bought a problem at this point; 12 year old car with 5k miles...
