...detonation?
Engine: B20b/gsr head, greddy oil plate
the day i blew the intake manifold gasket...it made a ticking noise under load, when at idle it was fine....but like i said when loading onto trailer you could hear it. When i changed my oil, it was clean....level was fine, wen i dumped antifreeze...it was clean, level was low of course from emptying thru coolant port on intake mani.
The break in the gasket...
since my oil was clean i figure my headgasket is fine.....i was gonna replace the oil pan, intake/exhaust mani, and valve cover gasket. fresh fluids and filters and swap the engine into my hatch...... i wanna get your guys take on the situation tho.

thats a good thing to hear.....any idea what it may have been tho, it happened as soon as the gasket blew and tried to apply some gas

Re: ...detonation?
That particular hole that's blown out on your intake manifold gasket is for the cooland port through the manifold and head. Is there anything in your cooling system that's been modified/replaced? Hoses, radiator, overflow tank, cap?
