HEALTHY OR NOT?

SR20d2fourT · 03-23-2008, 11:51 PM

either I'm stupid or just not all there right now, but is that a mani gasket youre showing us?

*wangan_cruiser* · 03-23-2008, 11:54 PM

LOL there is a coolant leaking out from one of the nut and stud

johngriff · 03-23-2008, 11:57 PM

Head is probably cracked all the way through to the coolant passage from over torquing the exhaust nuts to seal that big copper gasket.

*wangan_cruiser* · 03-23-2008, 11:58 PM

i torqued it by fsm spec

johngriff · 03-24-2008, 12:00 AM

But have you ever calibrated your torque wrench?

IRN · 03-24-2008, 12:05 AM

hopefully you you just made a mess and got coolant all over the place because that isnt normal. is there more anywhere else or just the stud?

*wangan_cruiser* · 03-24-2008, 12:06 AM

johngriff - yes i did calibrated my torque wrench. hey man thanks for time checking out my post and pointing out stuff.

IRN - yeah so far its only one....but ill go check it again since it is turned upside down as i reply here

*racepar1* · 03-24-2008, 12:11 AM

I've seen that before on other motors. Sometimes a machine shop will screw up helicoiling a stripped bolt hole and go into a coolant passage and sometimes it just cracks all by itself and leaks. Pull the mani and the stud and inspect it. It is theoretically possible to use teflon tape or silicone to seal the threads on the stud to stop the leak, but it will probably lead to problems later.

*wangan_cruiser* · 03-24-2008, 12:14 AM

yea hopefully it shouldnt be a big prob

*downshift_sideways* · 03-24-2008, 12:28 AM

*wangan_cruiser* · 03-24-2008, 09:29 AM

no coolant drip. but after that i found a wet spot on the exhaust manifold on top of that.

*wangan_cruiser* · 03-25-2008, 01:35 AM

verified it. no coolant coming out from the exhaust stud. it was dry. found out that it could possibly came out from the coolant hole since i turned my motor upside down.
