As most of you know my car seems to have a blown head gasket...But I just had a crazy idea about the TB spacer and how they sometimes leak.
I was just wondering...those of you who have had this leak on them what were the symptoms your car had when the coolant was flowing into the TB?
the only reason Im asking is that would it be possible if my TB spacer blew the gasket out and leaked coolant into the intake wouldnt that have the similar effects of blowing a head gasket. Where as coolant would be getting into the motor and burning off?
When my supposed head gasket blew I was able to drive like normal for close to 20 minutes with no check engine lights, no over heating...the only thing I had was a little sputtering, lots of white smoke out the exhaust but only when I stopped for a light and started moving again...10 seconds after that the smoke and the car drove like normal. When I came to a stop and sat for 30 seconds or so. then I would blow smoke again for a few seconds...
Wouldnt that be a sonofabitch if my TB spacer was leaking and I really didnt blow a head gasket...lol
Im going to pull the TB off tonight and just check the gaskets...I should be able to see if the coolant blew through it and if thats the case....im gonna jump off the nearest bridge cause the cars been sitting for almost a month now lol
