Well I thought that I finally was going to be finished yesterday as the Trick Flow Track Heat H/C/I install was completed and the car started for the first time since Janiary but now I have some issues. Cna you provide me with some help.

1) I have coolant pouring from the exhaust. I would have thought with new gaskets all the way around would not allow for this, obviously I am wrong. Any idea before I tear it back down?

2) Also while hooking up the throttle body, I broke the adjuster end off of the TV cable. Do I need to replace the entire cable, or is there a fix for this?

Please help summer is half over I still can't drive the thing!!

Lower intake gasket will cause huge coolant leak like that, do you still have coolant routing through the egr plate? If so it could be leaking there. Look into your throttle body and see if you can see if there has been coolant leaking in there.

I am not running EGR valave. I plugged the lines, so it is not running from there. I will have to take a look at the lower intake. Any way to look to see if that is for sure the problem. I dont want to take it off and reinstall to find out it is somehthing else.

If it's bad enough you might have coolant in the oil, check there first. You can also try this... Get a collant pressure tester, pull all your plugs. Pressurize your coolant system @radiator. While pressurized look into plug whole with light for coolant entering cylinder. That should help u narrow it down some
