Well good luck dude.

 

Hopefully things aren't too fubared.

 

Yeah, I had to drive 42 miles with them blown out

 

On another side, nothing in the crankcase that amounts to anything. Still nice and clean and level is the same. I think its dumping into an intake port a bit causing my miss..

 

You ever hear of a tow truck?

 

Enjoi the butterscotch pudding !!

Checked out everything. The leaks is strickly external... thank god :willynilly:

 

A tow job to my place from Ashland woulda cost more than it takes me to rebuild the engine :lol:

 

 

Drive 42 miles on blown intake gaskets? That's smart......Say goodbye to all your internals :roll:

 

Umm yeah, because I didnt know that coolant can wash down bearings or anything :rolleyes:

 

What I saw in the valve cover area turned out to be strickly condensation. I shoulda realized that due to the ultra short trips my car sees all the time

You had better hope that Milzy is open and shipping stuff on Friday if you need everything by Tuesday.

I am sure that there are going to be a lot of places that are closed on Friday. I would definitely try to call Milzy because they are good guys and see if they are open/shipping stuff. Plus they are local OH peeps.....just be prepared for other routes if they are closed.

WOT-tech > Milzy

 

Give Ben a call. Hell help you out.

 

Yeah, I was thinking of just going through WOT-tech. I havent heard much about Milzy, but i've heard good things about Ben through WOT-tech...

 

Honestly, their ported manifolds also look much nicer :lol:

Well, I sent emails to both MMS and WOT-tech. Lets see who replies back and can hopefully have the stuff to me Tuesday.. If not, i may put off doing the intakes until Sunday. I still have plenty of time since without the radiator cap on all the way, its not pressurizing the system and allowing it to leak internally. I checked it again tonight after letting it run for an hour after getting home from work, and there was just some fress seepage... Didnt even smell like any burning coolant even with the engine warmed up all the way.

 

Soo, at least I still got some time on it..

 

BTW, 19Cutlass94, you have a FS thread for the ICE larger TB.. Did you sell it already or is it still available. I made a post in it the other day

Ben replied today. If I order the stuff Friday, he will have it to me by Tuesday... Fucking sweet. Not only did he reply to me on a Holiday, he can have it to me quickly..

 

So far, WOT-tech definately will have a lot of my business :mrgreen: :high5:

Well, I went to order it today, and it gave me some wierd webpage error of sorts while trying to checkout. I will try again tomorrow. If it still doesnt work, I will just make my own.. Not a real hard thing to do anyway. Hell, im pretty sure I have a manifold plug anyway in one of my disastorious pile of part in my garages :willynilly: :lol:
