    in the pass 2 weeks the car's been taking a little long to start. today i start it to leave my cousins and it had trouble starting and after it did it was just pouring with white smoke all the way home... raditor is low on fluid now and no bubbles and the coolant isn't contaminated with oil. and the oil itself looks great no bubbles and no discoloration. i think its lower intake manifold gasket because now i don't remember if i used silicone around the coolant passage ways or not. and i did lower intake gasket like a little more then a month ago. im finding out tomorrow.

    bump redid the lower intake manifold gasket with some right stuff around all the ports. tighten it all up and now it runs much better and no white smoke at all.

    Why did you put RTV around the ports of the gasket? This should not be necessary if the gasket is good. The typical coolant into intake on a supercharged motor is from a TB spacer, TB gasket or SC to LIM gasket. Did you find anything odd with those?

    the motors in a camaro, i dont have any coolant going up the supercharger or into the tb. and it was the lower intake manifold gasket. and idk it looked ok but i guess the coolant somehow made its way around it. i replaced it with new gaskets and tighten the the bolts pretty tight. its worked so im happy.
