freakk_nique Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 I just had my engine rebuilt I hooked everything up correctly. I start it up, it runs fine but when I give it some throttle antifreeze leaks out of my bottom case from the center two bolts that are side by side, I torqued them to 20ft lbs. I'm completely lost, can somebody Help me Quote
lil Doobie420 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 its coming from the topend somewhere. start with the hoses and headgasket. Quote
lil Doobie420 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 its going thru the drain hole in the case thats why it looks like its leaking underneath.. ive had luck with using black light dye on hard to find leaks on cars before. Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted August 12, 2015 Report Posted August 12, 2015 #1 guess - Bad o-ring on tube into clutch cover, or if your luckier the hose from the tube to the head. Quote
camp0429 Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Could be the rubber plug in the base of one of the cylinders. This happened on mine, had to tear a brand new build apart and replace plug Quote
freakk_nique Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Posted August 13, 2015 I loosened the bolts to where the coolant was coming from. The studs move side to side I think they were over torqued and broke inside the case Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted August 13, 2015 Report Posted August 13, 2015 Like Doobie said, it my be dripping from those nuts, but is NOT coming from them. Look Higher, it's running through the drain hole on the middle of the cases...for sure. Quote
