well i got my 84 - t-type new turbo on and its running . well i was racing a tibrion and mustang , I scared the hell out of them as i blew bast them . ;) Dame i was a sweet sight looking at there faces and mouths drop.HA HA ,well just then i felt a sputer with my T-type as I finish I then I pulled of and look to see was wrong , just then white smoke came out he exaust,it smelt like coolent. i put water in the Radiatorand drove slow home.When i got home Ilook under the hood to see any what was wrong?I found that bolt that went to the intake manfold right next to the heater hose line and motor host hook is missing , i this why water is seaping in cylinder ????? HELP I was have fun smoking alot ricer's:confused:
 
If you're lucky the pressure of the water is blowing it into the nearest cylinder. Best case you can just put the bolt in and everything is fine. Most likely, if you're running a metal gasket any silicone that was there is now gone and you will have to pull the intake and re-silicone it. Or if you have the felpro 1200s the gasket could be blown out both in the intake port and/or water passage. I wouldn't drive it like this. Besides water going into a cylinder, washing down the oil, and a possible hydrolock situation, there's a good chance it could be going under the intake also, into the oil. I would drain the water and oil now, put fresh oil in, start it for a few seconds to got the fresh oil to the bearings and shut it down until you can fix it. Hopefully it's not a headgasket :) .
 
well i just got my heads off and found the head gaskets blew out!Dose any know a performance head gaskets?the tork specs on head bolts are 60 ft lbs,on 84 t-type hot air
