Update..

I tried to start it again today and cranked for a long time and no go, kinda smell fuel. So i pull the blower and low and behold my manifold if full of coolant, and i smell fuel directly out of the manifold as if its mixed with the coolant. Maybe just flooded from trying to start it. As for the coolant in the I/M im lost. there is waaaay more than before, should i just find a new I/M with cores and evthing. I assume the gasket for the dual pass is the same as the stock one? a new one didnt come with the dual pass. Any one have thoughts and know where to get a new IM?

The dual pass gasket will be the same. I'd call ZZP on Monday morning and have them send you a new gasket. And if your looking to get a new I/M, check ZZP as well, they might have some used ones, if not mise well just go New. GL.

Pull it back apart and check for pinched o-rings, look your cores over and make sure they didn't get damaged when you removed them.

Yea pull it back apart and take some pictures so we can see if we notice anything that you might be missing. When you swapped the laminova cores in the IM they went all the way in right?

Mine isnt throwing any codes anymore or having white smoke so im kinda at a lost the main difference between out problems is that u put the duel pass in and i didnt so on you problem i would start with that as for me im not sure were to start now.

I8URVET

Yeah im going to, im gonna order new O rings and the gasket first tho, i do know that one of the cores was dented in the very end but only slightly, what kind of damage can happen to the rest of my engine with all this coolant getting in my combustion chamber? And for pics, ive never added any on here- do you have to use a pic service? photo bucket? copy paste the link for the image?

Hey rectorc08, im not sure if you have a special phone # for ZZP but its always been- "leave a message and 2 days later they call back" if its a profitable call. i have had better luck emailing turbo tim.

the laminova o-rings are 20 bucks each and you can only get them from the dealer they are an odd size like 36.5 mm or some **** like that

Update..

So turbo tim is having me send him my IM and they are gonna pressure test it and seal it up.. Big thanks to tim and ZZP. Hope this works..

I8URVET

sorry for the delay response. So yes the cores went in all the way and all the same flushness. im so lost on where the leak is, its gotta be the endplate gasket but im sending the whole IM to tim at zzp.

update on my end i went to auto zone cause i though maybe my spark plugs were fauling out so i got there and there got new ones it called for and i think i got sent the wrong spark plugs cause i put the new one and it ran great no problems other than the belt slippage??? kinda wierd though

I8URVET

What plugs did ZZP send you? (make, part #) Which ones did you put in from autozone? interesting!!! what did your plugs look like when you took them out? (black/wet/dry/white)

Quick question, you know when you have your intake manifold off and you can look into the combustion chamber- are all four of the valves supposed to be even/at the same level? my fourth one to the right is lower than the other 3? i hope thats normal.

yes thats normal. The engine on that cylinder is on a intake stroke

This is why this site is the poop.

...just sayin.

mrbelvedere

iTrader: (3)

thats not the combustion chamber that is the intake runner the valve is either openening for the intake cycle or it is closing for the combustion process

if you dont like the site there are other places you can take your ******* to

I8URVET

Ok, thank mrB and Jeremy, and as for you smit" **** off. If you know everything already than why are you even on here? Everyone is helping others in discussing there personel experiences, go somewhere else and bash. Sad thing is, how did you come accross this thread? uh huh....

smitzk01

iTrader: (6)

you mis-took me. I meant its the ****, just substituted with poop. This site is great.

and to OP I wasn't downing anything. you both took that the wrong way. This site is a great place to learn and to give/get advice. I posted that because I have learned while reading this thread. The information is the poop... meaning... its awesome.

I8URVET

HaHa, def took it the wrong way. My bad for jumpin to early..

It's cool man as I said in post #118 I'm in for results and good luck.

I8URVET

Update: So ZZP received my IM and tim says "all of my cores were damaged from being removed" $350.00 ouch. i was pretty carefull but i guess not enough and having to pull them out 3 times ups the risk, lesson learned.

Will update when i reinstall.

lol what did you use to take them out?
I know when i did my dual pass I was being careful as **** and i still put a small dent in one of them but never had any issues.

I8URVET

i used a microfiber cloth and channel locks around that on 2 and my thumb inside the other 2 but it didnt take much so i didnt think it damaged them
