i just put a rebuilt 305 in my 1991 z28 TPI.....im having abit of a problem....

everything was reconnected correctly as far as the harness and intake go....

PROBEM: i have coolant comming out of my throttle body and out of my headers; obviously there is coolant getting fed into my air intake system some how....

ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHERE TO START DIAGNOSING????

????: could it be possible that the heads arent torqued on?, because the intake is put on absolutely perfect....i bought the motor from another person so maybe the heads werent torqued on (i know its dumb i should have checked, but obviously its too late for that...)


One of my buddies said it may be the heads, he said that once the water pump caught up and started to pressure-ize the system it would start flowing coolant into the intake if the heads werent torqued on....????

I really need help on this, everything else worked out perfectly, it ran, we got it timed and just all the sudden it started flowing out of the TB and the headers....

THANKS A LOT GUYS...PM OR POST REPLY RSVP

i dont know what your problem could be but your friend is wrong about the water pump. the water pump DOES NOT pressurize the coolant system. the coolant is pressurized by the expanding gases of itself when it warms up.
