Hey, I have a quick question about if my intake manifold gasket was blown, would that allow coolant to get in my oil? I'm most certain it's not my head gasket since I did that about a month ago, and used copper spray and ARP head studs.

The reason I think it may be my intake mani gasket is because I have a roaming idle and boost is leaking from there I do believe.


So, is it possible that coolant is getting in oil through blown intake mani gasket?


Thanks in advance.

Yes. only way to find out is compression test and yank off the IM.
and ARP hed studs and copr stuff doesnt mean it was done right. no offense
how much torque did you put on the head studs?
is the car overheating when in boost? or even just sitn?

im fairly certain the hg was done correctly. Studs torqued to 65ft lbs after the correct sequence as well as starting at low torque then workin up to 65. And no there is no overheating in boost or at idle. Which leads me to belive its the im gasket. I comp tested about a week ago and they were all fine but one cylinder, which my friend and i think the rings are going bad in because its burning a little oil, but no coolant.

also, sorry for misspelling or whatever. Im posting on my shitty phone.
