How many on here has Installed an intake gasket on 4.6 (help me)!
Ok, I've had 2 compression test done on the car, and nothing failed under the 160psi test. But I'm still getting coolant in all my plug holes on driver side. After the test he (mechanic/ friend) put in new 190 deg thermostat, new o ring, new thermostat housing, all new plugs, and sealant on thermostat housing. The car ran fine yesterday untill this morning. I get to work and check it and There is small amounts of coolant around the THERMOSTAT and inside each of the plug holes. So I cleaned up all the coolant with a vac and dried everything I could. Then checked it 1/2 hr later and noticed that it has very small amounts of coolant right where the intake gasket seats. (all along the whole gasket).on driver side. If its the gasket how easy is it to change. Can I do it in my driveway.. Has anyone changed one before
thanks kevin
