Hi all,

So my car is running great, no oil leaks, pulls great. My concern is, I smell coolant when decelling/coasting/coming off the gas sometimes. It is the one and only time I smell it. Whats going on? Engine is pretty fresh, has maybe 6-8k on it. There doesnt seem to be any oil in my coolant or vice versa.

Is it head lift? bad hose somewhere?

Engine is a B18B, forged bottom, stock head except springs. t3/t04e turbo. CX Racing radiator.

Thanks all

OEM headstuds?

 

Hi sorry. The headstuds are ARP.

Thanks

if they are torqued down properly then you shouldnt be getting any head lift.
