Ok guys, so we put off the headgasket job AGAIN. if you guys dont know already i was missing REALLY bad under boost(thought it was CPS or boost cut?) but i pulled the #6 plug and it smelt of coolant and fuel, i peeked down into the cylinder and there it is a puddle of fuel/coolant a top the piston. so i took today compression test it went 155psi. It ran perfect on the way over to my friends house, so i said why not. we started it up, ran/idled perfect. so i take it around the block a few times ran great, even under full boost pulls... i dont know whats going on the car ran perfect all night dosent blow smoke anymore(only blew smoke at idle), and i destroyed a transam tonight. Please give me some advice guys.:1zhelp:
Confusion about coolant leak 2nd time around??
- Thread starter TheNewRed
- Start date
i have a cracked TB on my n/a.
it filled my catch can up with water.... and i lost ALL my coolant out of my radiator... it was a very bad day. so i bypassed it and everything is ok.

It could have a small hole in the gasket... Being that it sat for awhile it could have swelled a bit and pluged back up??? But the bottom line is that coolant WAS in there so either way its time for a head gasket.

I know i hear you on that, and thats what im thinking, but one of the only places i have to do it is my friends house, and he acts like a total dick about it, even after he invited me over to do the job there. I have all the parts, even an extra head...:3d_frown: i dont know what the hell to do.

yeah I really dislike people who offer to help but then make you feel guilty about it!
But for yours and the motors sake dont drive it cause once water hits those crank bearings kiss them goodbye!
leaking coolant jacked plug down in the spark plug valley.
Remove spark plug, spark plug will have coolant on and it and will drain the coolant into the cylinder. Just like if the oil jacket plugs are leaking...
