Firebird is down again

[Boost Addict]

Well the car has been fouling plugs lately and it appears to be due to oil. So we pulled the intake and it appears that the intake gaskets were leaking the oil right into the heads. Glad we figured that out. We also noticed that all the oil was all foamy by the lifters and spider trays or whatever they're called. So we flipped the intake over and we see tons of the foam. And what else? Water!!!! So it seams like a head gasket is leaking or something. I figured that the supercharger may cause the foam because of it blowing on the oil due to the leaky intake gasket but I can't think of where else the water would come from. The thing is, it's not down on coolant. So I'm stumped. Needless to so I'm ****ing pissed

that supercharger has been nothing but problems, i would think of another route to go.

Damn, sorry to hear Ricky.. Sure been alot of motor issues, already, this season...

[MP81]

Yeah - get rid of the blower.

[Boost Addict]

That's out of the question. Considering it's 8.5:1, it would be a waste.

Warped heads...cracked block...there is not much good that can come from this...and it doesn't take much coolant to cause the conditions you're describing.

I wouldn't be suprised to find out that you have multiple issues going on there...

[WMCCjames]

The water is coming from your coolant.....you have an internal leak somewhere...not good. Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Whatever you do though, don't run the engine anymore until you figure out the source of the leak.

I don't understand how it can be leaking from somewhere when I've put 250 miles on it and the coolant has yet to be low.

really sorry to hear that bud! I hope you guys figure it our. I really hope its something simple to fix!

Cracked head and head gasket - Just went through it last summer.

I had cracked a sleeve into a water jacket and my coolant didn't get low either and I drove on it for 100 miles or so, it doesn't take much at all to cause the oil to get foamy and milky. Drain the oil and see how bad it is then start searching for your leak, I hope its something easily accessable and fixable.

When you pull the heads that will be your first clues. Look very close at head gasket for leakage and blow by between ports.
Believe me I feel your pain and frustration at this point.

Sorry to hear, Ricky! Like my dad said - we definitely know how you're feeling.

Found whats going on. The water is coming up through the head studs. Drained a little oil out and there is no water. So it sounds like were just going to tak the studs out and put regular bolts in.

[Boost Addict]

New game plan. Ended up taking the studs out and putting "The Right Stuff" gasket maker on them and put them back in, they ended up sealing. I DO NOT reccomend using the Aviation Permatex like I did the first time, that's what cause the leak.
