No sir, email gets jumbled up. I'll shoot you another.

Alright,once again about at wits end. Fired up car today to check some stuff over. Have had some slight condensation drippings from the exhaust,no big deal. Well,slid under it and found coolant. Appears to be coming from the bellhousing? I know there's no coolant plugs on the back of the block,so what could it be? I felt no moisture around the top end of the engine. Probably gonna put some uv dye in and see what I find. I had already wiped it off,but you can see where it's leaching down.

Monkeybutt2000 · Nov 6, 2022

Soo,appears to be intake gasket. Put uv dye in,and first noticed on the rear most header bolt. Then noticed a small trail on the edge of the valve cover.

You need a right tail light lens?

I think that's the reflection of an open door in the tail light...

Finally had some time for the Fox. Tore off intake after work today,have some FelPro 1262s3 ready to go. Gonna recheck some valvetrain stuff as well.

Monkeybutt2000 · Feb 2, 2023

She never fails to surprise. Pulled valve covers and discovered this. Turned the lock nut about 1-1/2 turns and the whole thing came out This car just wants to fight me everytime. Of course,I clearly didnt torque down this particular stud. Gonna go back through everyone after I check rocker geometry.

Monkeybutt2000 · Feb 2, 2023

Upon further investigation,I can clearly see this stud was Loctited in the pad. There were remnants of it laying around in the head. How did this just spin out?

bird_dog0347 · Feb 2, 2023

Are the threads damaged?

No,it appears to have just turned out of the pad.

AeroCoupe · Feb 2, 2023

Just because it has loctite on it doesn’t necessarily mean it got torqued…been there and regretted that.

If the rest check out then run a tap down the hole, vacuum out, clean out with brakes parts cleaner, vacuum out, reinstalled loctited stud, and torque.

a91what · Feb 3, 2023

Man you really know how to up the anxiety level... now I have to go check mine
