[QUOTE="pirotec354, post: 552138, member: 11425"] Ok guys im in need of some serious help or ideas. My car is burning coolant pretty bad. I thought that it might be the lower intake gaskets so i changed those THREE times, but it still did the same thing. So after trying that and having no luck, I went and got my lower intake checked to see if it was warped, and it was so I had it milled. They took .010 off of one side and .007 off of the other side. Soo I went and installed it yet again and its still burning coolant just not as bad. Im pretty sure its not head gaskets either b/c I just changed those about a month and a half ago and I did a compression check on every cylinder and everything checked out. And also it seems to have an ungodly amount of pressure on the system. I can squeeze the upper radiator hose and its almost as solid as a rock. Oh and by the way, the coolant was coming in one of the center ports of the lower intake, which i thought was odd. But damn, im so tired of this. I just want to be able to drive it again. And im sick of paying full coverage on something i cant even drive. Thanks in advance guys. -Justin [/QUOTE]
