Re: New head cylinder now leaking coolant around gasket

Re: New head cylinder now leaking coolant around gasket
Well I think im just confusing myself now... the leak only appears in the morning when it is cool and not during the day or at night at all and I could visually see the coolant seaping through the gasket of the t stat housing this morning. I ended up torquing down on the bolts and the leak seemed to...

Re: New head cylinder now leaking coolant around gasket
Problem is he had to have heart surgery and is out, he will not even return my phone calls at this point... :/ does it sound like just the intake manifold gasket or a much bigger problem because it is leaking from both gaskets? Is this a fix for a novice? I may have access to torque wrench. Any sugg...

Re: New head cylinder now leaking coolant around gasket
Close up. Both leaking where the metal joints from the black hose attaches to the head and the air intake manifold attaches on the head.

Re: New head cylinder now leaking coolant around gasket
Ok I have made a mistake. I got up this morning and cranked it up to find the leak coming from 2 spots. One appears to be part of the air intake manifold but only on the farthest left section and the other the black hose, part of the coolant system? It is both the metal joints that bolt to the head ...

Re: New head cylinder now leaking coolant around gasket
It was all milled, New valves, new everything. I repeatedly tried to crank it up today to see the leak again and it never did! I dunno what to do? Maybe try a fix treatment? It was the first time I noticed so I got a snapshot. Should I drive it around to spot the leak again or is that just going to ...

Re: New head cylinder now leaking coolant around gasket
Yes the engine overheated from a dry rotted hose blowing out and me trying to drive back home on it. I kept cranking it up today and letting it sit, repeated all day to try and see the leak again and it never came back! I did notice my antifreeze was a tad bit low but not much.

Re: new head cylander now leaking coolant around gasket
K strangest thing, I kept it cranked up for 1 hour. Drove it maybe 10 miles (the most I have driven since getting it fixed and let it sit idleing in the driveway for the rest of the time. Now the leak has appeared to stop. I do not know if this is from it burning off faster than it can fall out but ...
