Intake leaks

[quickstang_1994]

Car started acting up alot backfiring, spitting and sputtering, hestitating. I noticed a leak when the car was dyno'd and the boost was coming out the back of the motor (along with coolant)

i hope this was the whole problem and not head gaskets as well

Is the radiator fluid milky or was it blowing white smoke out?

 

[quickstang_1994]

it wasnt smoking but looks like the oil and coolant was mixing then blowing out the back of the intake. but their is no mixing in the radiator, overflow, hoses, nor in the oil so.... maybe the boost was keeping them clean not sure

Keep those for your wall of fame. I am going to assume something else is going on, it seems suspect that it would happen to the gaskets around all the coolant passages. Good luck and hopefully its back on the road soon.

Also you should try the steel core felpros. They are much nicer and hold their shape really well.

it seem the gaskets are a race type gasket and they decompose after so long and they have been on since 03 so it was past time. and yes i am switching since i found that out
