head burning coolant
sup honda tech, my problem started when I went the mini me route, I since went back to a complete y7. the car burns up coolant (take the oil cap off and smoke comes out)I know its not the head gasket, I put a new one on with arp head studs.
I narrowed it down to the y8 intake manifold, its a auto IM, it was used so i can stay with the 3 wire iacv. The y7 throttle body gasket was used with the y8 throttle body( because the IM didn't come with one
ebay), could this be the problem? also the throttle body only has 2 of the 4 bolts on it. I also noticed that who ever had the car before me has 3/8 hose for the coolant lines, could this be the problem? help me out guys the best you can its appreciated
