2001 GTP misfiring and spewing smoke

Hey fellas,

like the title says it started spweing smoke so I took it apart. I took the m90 off and this is what greeted me. I need some advice, what could this be? The supercharger gasket? Should I dig deeper and replace the LIM gaskets too? First time digging this deep so I'd be thankful for any help/pointers.

yes, replace the LIM aswell.

and make sure you clean up all that coolant good and wash it all away, and dump some down the vally to clean away and change the oil atleast twice to insure you dont get a bigger problem.
 
Take the TB off the SC. Is the gasket messed up at the bottom? That's where the coolant does a u turn. If the SC is wet inside, that's what happened. Clean that up and fix the gasket.

Was the SC to LIM gasket wet by the yellow rings? If so..change the SC to LIM gasket and be done. Either way..I'd pull the TB and clean it while it's off.
 


I dont know where my response went so here it goes again.

Thank guys, but have you seen something exactly the same before. I am afraid that it might be head gaskets or a cracked head....what are your thoughts on that?

Thanks
 
Head gasket can't do that.

Yes I have...hell...I've diagnosed this over the phone which is why I told you to check what I did.

And keep in mind..that WILL NOT BE A HEAD GASKET. Ok, thanks.. lol

I'd put money on it.
 
Tom..I often toss this out and would pay. If you find it's a head gasket.. I'll paypal ya $20. For some beers to help you feel better.
