ryan lang Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 hmmm not a clue then bud :/ lolundo the inlet mani bolts and make sure there isnt a water jacket on there, i dont think there is, but just to be on the safe side. i know when i 1st did mine many moons ago, i put the inlet manifold gasket on backwards meaning it could leak a bit of air in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobby boy Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 did it make it smoke white? theres a fair bit of water forming in the bottom of the backbox on the tip but is this not normal? bit of black in the water too, just soot isnt it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryan lang Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 no it never smoked, probably just condensation in the backboxbut if you have put it on wrong and there is a water jacket, it wont be sealing tidy, so just check that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
