I don't know if anybody rememebrs like two weeks agao I was posting about my car not turning over after I installed a new intake manifold.... Well it seemed to befuddle just about everybody, and I ended up towing my car down to my buddy's shop to look at it. Well we pulled the plugs and looked into the cylinders, to fine that cylinder #4 and #8 were full of coolant!!!


The only thing I can think of, is I didn't flush out the system good enough, and left some in the manifold so when I pulled it off it leaked into the cylinders. Luckily the hydrolocked engine was easily cleaned out, and started right up! She back on the road!

Good to hear!

I'd run a leak check on it just in case.
