| Pulled out the driveway yesterday (WOT).....came to a stop and takein a glance in the rear veiw i see nuttin but white smoke  Well i started thinkin its the rings !!!! Great!!! Jus what i need .....well time for a S/C  But then the more i looked at it i started to think it was coolant burning not oil so then i am like great i blew a head gasket !!! Then again i was thinkin it was runnin to good to be a head, i bet the plennum or the intake is leakin so i start tearing into it, and whala !!! Gaskets are shot !!!!  So i am doin the upper and lower intake gaskets along with the valve covers. Also while i have it apart i am gonna port and polish the intake hopefully that will give me a few ponys extra !!! | |

| Ok its done after 10 hours of fµ  k with the LIM and UIM. Ported and polished the LIM,took 4 hours to do that. After 2 hours or so cleaning the parts. I recomend anyone doing this mod to take their sweet sweet time, specially if ur not experienced at this type of work.It was very time consuming and teidace(sp).And time i did not have cuz this is my daily driver..So i put it all back together with the two gasket sets, new 605 autolite plugs,new ign wires,new temp sensor,oil and antifreeze. Done ,right? Hell no its freakin leaking worse than before i started, thinkin maybe i screwed sumin up during install, i take it all back apart lookin for my mistake, find nadda in my work then BAMB !!!! Theres a damn whole in the UIM where the are cooling jackets for the T.B. where the E.G.R. tube goes thru !!! Parts store want 125 my cost so i say screw that i already have 150 in this thing and 2 days of time so i get some two part plastic apoxy and that fixs it after 5qts oil and filter takein plugs out and putin it all back together!!  | |
