Default Stupid plastic manifold...

Damnit.... i hate these manifolds. I think mine finally cracked. I saw some coolant leaking out right behind my altenator and the motor was smoking.... Sorry this really isn't a tech article but now i have to go find me a new one!

fr500 intake is for dohc engines


make sure you get one with the metal coolant cross over tube. good luck with the surgery.
