Intake manifold
Re: Intake manifold
I had forgotten that I had already posted it. You installed the spacers right? Check your coolant bypass.

Re: Intake manifold
Okay, so don't flame me too hard but I'm not 100% positive of what I'm looking for exactly. I checked all the hoses again and everything is tight.
Come to think of it I don't recall doing a coolant bypass..

Re: Intake manifold
No but its the only part of the coolant system that was touched and its not hard to imagine it not being on far or tight enough.VQpwrdSE-R wrote:[Is this a common problem when doing the spacers?
Another spot to check is the coolant line that goes from the oil cooler/warmer sandwich plate to the radiator.
Re: Intake manifold
I did NOT install the bypass which I will take care of shortly. The leak is up front on the passenger side 
This is probably a re re question, but am I suppose to plug the holes after connecting these two hoses together? The instructions don't say

Re: Intake manifold
As I said, check the coolant line from the oil warmer/cooler. Its very cheaply made and is known to fail.

will do
Re: Intake manifold
You can plug them if you like but unless you plan to ever use them again I wouldn't worry about it.06SE-R wrote:This is probably a re re question, but am I suppose to plug the holes after connecting these two hoses together? The instructions don't say
Re: Intake manifold
Installed the bypass( still can't believe I forgot to do that) and I checked the bottom coolant hose again. I can't tell if that's where it's leaking from or if that's where it is falling down to. 
Re: Intake manifold
I've driven the car to work for 2 days now and I can't smell coolant or see any. I'm not sure what's going on I might be going crazy.. I'll keep an eye on it though.
