EDIT: I am sorry... I re-read the thread and this was a rebuild.... I'm getting confused from one member to the next this past month. My apologies.


Here's some excellent information on breaking it all in: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48993


Sorry Joe, I'm an ass.

except a leak underneath the intake runner (that tiny nipple i was trying to find before. but it actually doesnt look like its coming from the hose. looks like coolant is leaking from where the intake runner and the engine head meet..... im so lost. this will be the 4 time taking everything apart. any ideas?

The coolant channel passes through the runner's flange and into the head. If the gasket is damaged or poorly sealing it will leak.

Default Water Through Intake Runner

Yup - true as rain. That magic nipple under the intake runner feeds right through to the head and if the gasket is not right - will leak. I RTV every place where coolant can leak. .

Excellent! Thanks for the pics Joe!

One thing to note is that if the gasket has a viton coating for that passage you need to be very careful about any sealants you might want to use on them... most contain enough trace solvents to cause the viton to bubble or ripple and may actually cause a worse leak than allowing the viton to do its job. If there is no sealant present, then YES, a thin coat of RTV is the way to go. I've had both types of gaskets in the past and neither leaked... never tried one with no sealant.

Well, as long as it isn't pooling up anywhere you should be alright. Make sure it's hanging out with the spark plugs in the galley.
