Hi I own a 1998 ford mustang gt manual, recently I did do PI intake swap, after third try its still leaking, I went to HPS and bought the adapter, and install it , and its still leaking and smoke alot too, I check the oils and its very little milky, so I change it after swap the intake with the adapter, the oils is still clean, no sign of milky, but still leak coolant and smoke alot. Money is problem right now, and I really need this car up and running, I really want to swap in a 99-04 PI engine,

What part I need to swap PI engine, in my mustang, will I still use the same clutch or tranny ?

Its hard to swap ? what online store that carry good clean and cheap PI engine ?

Money is problem right now, im willing to pay 1k for the engine . Thanks

The PI motor should bolt right in...

Use the same bellhousing and all that stuff...

it might not be leaking from the water jacket thing in the back... try the back heater hose... thats what broke on mine... not hard to break either.

Which gasket's are you using and where are you siliconing it?

 

[voidfinger]

said he used the adapter plates...

 

[Jrgunn5150]

I saw that, I just want to know if he's still using silicone.

I order the adapter from HPS, and they told me use silicon on water port between the adapter and the head, on top of the adapter just put on the gasket , no need for silicon, im using felpro 01-03 PI gasket with 04 PI intake.

What heater hose are you guy taking about ? I dont really know wat its look like.

hey you got the internet address for hps im really interested on those plates. are those plates something like the livernois kit brings to mate the pi intake to npi heads?

these plater requirement to use rtv between the head and the plate, wich is i dint knew it was, if i knew it was i will properly will not get it.

 

[Willis_98GT]

95 dollars?...

 

[voidfinger]

hmmm, i don't get it... why not use a npi gasket on the bottom and pi gasket on the top... i see no use in messing with rvt... thats what you do when you don't use adapters...

 

[Jrgunn5150]

I suspected as much, I would try gasket's.

 

[cobraclone]

How thick are those mating plates? And are they port matched from pi to npi?

i never understood how you can burn antifreeze and the oil can get in the antifreeze(and antifreeze in oil) if the intake gasket has a leak.

the oil and antifreeze both don't pass through the intake. they pass throught the block and heads and radiator.

 

[Jrgunn5150]

The antifreeze does pass though the intake.

 

[Steven]

Antifreeze gets into the ports.. drops down by way of the valve.. then gets blown by the rings and mixes with the oil.. it causes a loss in compression.. just depends on how much oil/water is mixed

1/4 its will work with stock hood, I went out and bought one bottle of head gasket repair, I follow the instruction and now the car seem no or less smoke then before, I just need this car to get thru the winter, next summer it will drop in PI engine.

Car stop loosing coolant and no more smoke, car ran great :banana:. I cant beleive $10 can bring my engine back to life, knock on wood for it to stay that way :banana:.

How long did you let the RTV silicone to sit before you ran it? Maybe it didn't cure long enough and thats why it was leaking?

 

[killagt]

I let my rtv on their with the adapter on top for 24 hours, before I use the adapter, I did PI gasket with rtv around the water port, I still let it sit for 24 hours before coolant add, but still leak. I think i got a crack some where inside the engine, not the intake , and I think my NPI intake was never crack ( 130k miles ), cause when I change out the T-stat , I seen alot coolant was in their. But bar leak product was help me out alot lol.
