So now the intake is off.
Just what the ____ is that technicolor mess in the driver's side rear water passage?
More traces of dried antifreeze corrosion on the intake ports?
I'm truly puzzled by this gelling and corrosion.
The block has been dipped
The radiator is BRAND new
The coolant was freshly installed several years ago (2008?) ... but this truck hasn't turned a wheel yet!
Yes, I had used the stock Felpro Gasket (MS90240-2) which might not be correct for an aluminum intake with no exhaust cross-over. I have reordered Felpro Performance # 1210 today.
