[QUOTE="97stanger, post: 915666, member: 8229"] Well, I brought my car to a show last weekend and it just didnt have the power it should, it also seemed to be popping out of the exhaust. So, first instinct was to check the plugs. I go to check the driver side front plug and there is coolant completely up to the top of the plug in the chamber. I checked all of the other plugs and the passenger side was completely fine, and 3 of the 4 plugs on the driver side were completely flooded with coolant. My first thought was that I blew a head gasket. My dad and I checked it out some more...we didnt notice any smoke coming from the exhaust, we dropped the oil and there was no separation from oil with any other fluid...called around and my tuner thinks I just blew an intake gasket. He said that a blown head gasket wouldnt have enough pressure to fill the entire chamber with coolant. Now the only problem is taking two plugs out, we accidentally pulled out two of the timeserts with the plugs. We are going to re-tap the heads just to be safe, but it didnt seem to cause any harm. I'm going to start with replacing the intake gasket and hopefully thats all it is....what do ya guys think? [/QUOTE]
