Dude I'll have to tell you, no worries. I did the same thing, well over 2 over flow bottles through my TB and into the engine. I took it off and put it back on, and when I did that I didn't take all the old gasket off, put a new one on. When I started my car it was running.... then it died 30sec later.. didn't start for hours. Then pushed it on my slopey driveway and it started and it was pure white smoke for 3 days (coolant smelling too). I am sure it is the EGR cooling line leaking through that gasket.

We'll see, I'll order the new gasket today and hope no coolant reached the motor I think I stopped the motor in time, it only ran for about 30sec to a minute and I shut it down as soon as it started leaking. Is it just me or does nothing ever work the first time.[:@]

I just rebuilt my 90 5.0...NOTHING works right the first time

It was my first rebuild, so that probably had something to do w/ it....maybe

Anyway, to bypass the coolant lines in the egr, you need to remove the whole egr system and plug the holes....let me rephrase that.....to do it correctly.......

yep, including the hole in the lower intake
