[xdavidscenex]

collant in cyl #4 on my 97 gsr stock boosted.
could it be headgasket? or cracked sleeve?
or something else?
motor almost turns over but wont stay on
please help!!

[Black4DrEK]

it very well could be the gasket.... And or warped head...

[Black4DrEK]

have u done anything to it recently??

[xdavidscenex]

yes just boosted it hit boost about 40 times in the day and later that night this happened?

[FasTech]

Damn PT, are you talking about Chris's car?

[Black4DrEK]

got all coolant lines in the back hooked up correct??

[xdavidscenex]

that im not sure of but it did run for the whole day without this problem occuring but why would it just start out of no were if the lines were hooked up incorrect?

[xdavidscenex]

and this is chris and yes my car Ftl

[teh_mugen18]

I'd try with finding the leak, and once you find the leak it can tell you what to fix. Most likely would be the headgasket, or if you didnt put any head studs in it, could be some head lift.

[jadakid88]

it the headgasket

[xdavidscenex]

the leak is not external so idk how to find the leak if its in the internals? unless i remove the head and im going to i just wanted to get some opinions and stuff. but if its just some collant lines backwards or hooked up wrong on the intake mani witch is blox or on the block could that be the problem?

[Black4DrEK]

those lines in the back on the mani..

If the one from the Heater core (fire wall) is switched around with the 'U' shaped hose (on mani).. Directly next to it.. If those are switched you have problems

Other than that^ most likely headgasket

[xdavidscenex]

ok i will take a look

[AnthonyF]

headgasket.

You can repair it the right way or use BARS Headgasket leak repair which really works.

[xdavidscenex]

ok looks like im takeing the head off. :/ but why is everyone eliminating the crack sleeve?
what signs happen with that

[.:Stirfry:.]

its a cracked water jacket in the head, since its a certain cyl.

[xdavidscenex]

lol

[DarKStaR]

has it been recently tuned?

[FasTech]

and this is chris and yes my car Ftl



Ahh shit man, that sucks. Hope you figure it out.

[FasTech]

fuck i should have listened to pt da king and kept the supercharger!!!



LOLOLOL. PT, you so crazzzyyy. :crazy:

[.:Stirfry:.]

now you need a new head..

[xdavidscenex]

it didnt run hot

[xdavidscenex]

so thats not possible i have no collant in my oil

[teh_mugen18]

Just go pull it off and see with your own 2 eyes instead of guessing....

lol im just sayin'

[EmminoDaGreat]

You either a have a really bad intake manifold gasket (on cyl # 4 where the coolant can pour directly into the cylinder via intake runners) Or you have a crack in a coolant passage in the head(or on spark plug tube I have seen them fill a cylinder this way). Or you can have a severely blown headgasket. Or you may have cracked a sleeve. Depending on tuning, boost pressures would help narrow some of those out.

[FasTech]

Should have just left it Supercharged. lolol.

[xdavidscenex]

lmao

[xdavidscenex]

so what would be the case if i had colant in all four cyl and the #4 being the woorse?

[DeeAOne]

did you even take the head off yet? get the head off first chris. lol

[Barefoot]

check the intake manifold gasket #4 has that coolant passage right by it.

[silversol]

since you are pulling the head. check the intake gasket,headgasket and replace them! also how much coolant is getting in? when i cracked a sleve on my boosted ls is would send steam/smoke out the ext like a train!

[xdavidscenex]

it would sned steam smoke oout the what? like a train?

Honestly people don't want my answers because I prefer to explain proper diagnosis and not speculate on possible causes and throw parts at cars.

[xdavidscenex]

ok to update everyone.. you all were basically wrong. so was i haha.
the tb gasket was blown so was intake mani gasket and the coolant lines to the throttle body were hooked up wrong :\ so there was coolant all in the intake mani causing it to go into the cyl so im putting it all back together and im going to try it out but im sure if there is coolant in the intake mani flodded with it its not hg or sleeve correct? idk so im asking

no YOU ARE WRONG>>>>>>


it was NOT THE TB GASKET!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR ARE WRONG IT WAS A CRACKED SLEEVE AND A CRACKED INTAKE PLENUM CHAMBER, AND A INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET..... JESUS FIX IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. GET A NEW BLOCK, HEAD, HEAD GASKET, AND INTAKE GASKET AND QUIT FUCKING AROUND.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


















didnt even think about the tb...... good to see it was an easy fix.

[xdavidscenex]

just kidding its woorse :[ got the head off cyl 4 is crack all the way down and through to the coolant jacket around it.
