is this my intake gasket?

mob · Feb 16, 2009

Hey guys. I got my engine ripped down. I was leaking coolant, and it was puddling on top of my timing chain cover both left and right side. I couldnt figure out where it was coming from so im guessing its the intake gasket? The car ran real rough and was missing past 2500 rpm, is that probably a vacuum leak from a blown intake gasket? This all started after I went to the track. I was also leaking oil from my valve cover gasket. I changed my oil and its perfectly clean so its deifnatly not a head gasket correct?

Water on top of the cover is usually the bypass or heater hoses. Intake leaks usually end up in the cylinders.

Leak

Had the same problem and it was the lower intake gasket. Hint - good time to change out the water pump also.

Ok thanks, when you had that problem was the car missing and running rough? The car isnt smoking so I dont think water is getting into the cylinders. It looks like its leaking in the front right behind the dizzy. And my small water pump hose is really swollen but I dont think its leaking, Im changing that anyways.

Intake

Yes mine was running rough but I'm not sure I can blame that on the intake as I had also just installed the supercharger. After I changed out the intake gaskets, I still had afterfire and stumbling at low rpms. Switched from a C&L to pro M maf with a SC calibration and then the car ran good at low rpms but cut out at above 2500 rpms. Switched to a new pro M with a standard calibration and its running fine now.
