Hey Guys its me Alero99

car has sat now for the past 4 weeks, and it ran all of 10 minutes in that 4 weeks...

I found some interesting things a few days ago...

I took off the upper plenum to check the length of my pushrods

and what do i find when i get the valve covers off?

Coolant in the oil!

now this is the second time i have taken the motor apart, both times the damn bolts on the lower intake although i ahd them torqued to spec they would be loose when removing the lower intake...

now i am looking at new lower intake bolts maybe hte ones i have, have seen better days... also i am looking at taking off the timing cover to ameks ure my timing marks on the chain and gears are lined up.

Did you use thread sealant on the lower head bolts?

you should have done that in the first place... it really does hurt to see someone with such little mechanical knowledge, to attempt a job like this...

then have absolutely no clue how he screwed it up.


did you torque the heads properly? did you use sealant around the coolant passages in the heads where the intake bolts up? do you have any clue wtf you are even doing?
