morgey Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I think theres a set of water pipe on the throttle body, its quite a common thing to get these mixed up with the vacuum lines that are right near them? Might be worth checking them first Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Guilty of that myself. The waterlines and vac/idle control lines are mixed up on the throttle body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I have seen before that people have put the headgasket on the wrong way. It is worth double checking this when you remove the head. Water or oil pisses out the head where the ports of the headgasket are the wrong way round. As above also there are the water and vac lines on the throttle body which commonly get mixed up.

rasslenny Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks guys ill give the lines a check this morning ...and as for placing the head gasket on the wrong way is it a simple spin it around kinda deal ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I don't think it would be the headgasket, I think it is the water and vac lines mixed up on the throttle body. It is possible to fit the headgasket wrong by flipping it over and turning 180 degrees. But I highly doubt this is your problem mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
