    Not sure there is such a thing. But after flushing and filling antifreeze and hosing off the engine. The water in one of the valleys was bubbling. Not sure if it was an air leak some where or boiling. Neither seemed good. No real noise with it or after the water was gone.

    At idle the manifold is under vacuum and would suck the water in if there was a leak. If you saw bubbles it was boiling.

    That makes sense. Just never owned one with a supercharger before and just picked this up. Giving it the once over. Man does that supercharger oil smell when you suck it out.

    Thanks
