how you know breh??

let me guess. lim gasket job, Cole does it wrong.





nope. not shocked. :th_jester:

15 psi is what the radiator cap is rated for. where's it leaking?

 

[Taz Magister]

I put the pump back on a second time and left it for 2 hours and it went down to like 9 psi so I'm going to have paul change out the lim gaskets for me I reserved a trailer for tommorrow so I can take it over there and have them do that and we can finish it up. so by this time tommorrow my car should be working 100% well 95% do to some **** just being riged together but you get what I mean...

as long as my bottom end doesn't go when I drive it onto the trailer

 

[MoarkatsINmuhtrailer]

I'll have to go pick one up. The way I see it the worse case is that I have to replace the lim gaskets because if it was the head gaskets it would just hydro lock or go out the exhaust correct?

cole, if the lim gaskets go out.. it will hydro lock. mine did but my uim also got the hole in it.

the point was I ruled out the head gaskets

umm. according to the gm service manual, if it holds the pressure for 2 minutes, then you're good.

after 2 hours...come on now.

 

[MoarkatsINmuhtrailer]

ahhh ic lol hydro locking isnt fun

this is a race kar bruh

 

[matt5112]

your pressure tester might be the thing leaking after that long.

15 minutes is typically good enough.

im just confused. you just did the LIM gaskets. what could you have possibly done wrong/differently that having someone else re-do them will fix? if theyre metal. and you used your thread sealant on bolts, then there isn't much room for error.

 

[Taz Magister]

your suppuse to use thread sealant on the bolts? but they don't go into coolant passages?

 

[Taz Magister]

and they wern't the plastic ones

 

[matt5112]

LIM pitted?

S/C case pitted?

TB gasket sealing properly?

 

[Taz Magister]

that coolant passage is blocked off in the Lim like in bills how to mod your lim thread

 

[matt5112]

that leaves a pitted LIM or it simply leaked by your tester.

or the heads are cracked or the gasket didn't seal 100%.

Welcome to the world of very slow coolant leaks buddy.

if you're talking about what i think you're talking about, that is normal. can't have coolant going into combustion chamber.

Welcome to the world of very slow coolant leaks buddy.

The Lim was kind of pitted but it didn't seem like anything that would cause leaks...

but basicly what your saying is either I don't have a leak or I'm completly ****ed

 

[matt5112]

Sounds like my situation.

 

[Taz Magister]

**** I"m going to go nuts if I don't get this fixed tomorrw
