coolant on spark plugs

[crazybrownklick]

Removed spark plugs and on cylinder 3 I notice it had coolant on it haven't removed the rear one but I'm assuming that they will have coolant too will thus be case with the head gasket or the lower intake gasket

intake.

HG are so rare to go bad.

[crazybrownklick]

That's what I thought that it would be the intake but wasn't sure because I don't have my oil milky

[BillBoost37]

This is commonly a gasket in the intake tract. Meaning this can be a throttle body gasket, a supercharger to LIM gasket or a LIM gasket. Likely though..I'd put high odds on the first two.

And if you have a TB spacer...well we know right where the leak is.

[crazybrownklick]

Nope I don't have a tb spacer I'm all stock just an intake. I'm gonna change the lim gasket supercharger gasket and tb and ill go from there.

[BillBoost37]

I'd suggest pulling the TB first. Look into the SC and if it's soaked, then most likely it was the tb gasket. Then pull the SC and if the gasket is soaked, it was the SC gasket. It's just the fact that it's tough for the LIM gasket to leak that much into the cylinders.

[crazybrownklick]

Ok I will do that asap and it can't be the head gasket right

[BillBoost37]

Chances are extremely slim

[crazybrownklick]

Thanks bill for the info ill follow those steps and ill update asap I figure what went wrong appreciate your help

your saying all TB spacers leak?

my car already had one, when i purchased. Is there any real benefit to the spacer? you need two tb gaskets for the spacer to SC and TB to spacer?

[crock]

The benefit on a spacer on a GTP isn't much. The spacer is used for a chance for the air to cool down more when entering the intake. But, on GTP's the air is only going to warm back up when going through the supercharger. Not all of them leak, but they have a greater possibility of leaking. More gaskets=more leaking possibilities. Someone correct me if im wrong...

[crazybrownklick]

^x2

[BillBoost37]

Crock is on the money. Plus I think that often the spacers from ZZP shipped with Garleak (aka gonna leak) gaskets.

[TEK310]

looks like i will be removing mine this weekend.

thanks.

do i need to drain the coolant to remove the TB?

[crazybrownklick]

Where can I get the gasket from the supercharger to the lim AutoZone and oreilly don't carry it? Don't want want to wait that long for shipping

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

they carry them.

Its just called a upper intake gasket for the L67

[crazybrownklick]

Oh ok I will verify that tomorrow thanks

I may have a similar problem. White smoke had come from my passenger side. I had it towed. I was told that I needed to replace my water pump, radiator, thermostat, and hoses. I replaced all of them and when I went to flush the system, I detected leaking. It wasn't too apparent where it was leaking from. A puddle formed just underneath the oil pan. When I went to drain the water, I could hear a hissing sound coming from just above the water pump but below the supercharger. Any thoughts?

could be a cracked coolant elbow.

[USF3983]

Yeah I've been reading about that. I guess I should check that out first.
