i know i should search , but im in bit of a timecrisis , so please no flaming.
i have a 99 ek and i just installed a 99-00 auto d16y8 mani on my d16y7 head... everything is plugged into place and i used a 00ex gasket. the problem is , im having major coolant leaks from the passenger side where the mani and head mate. someone please help! thank you.

 

Did you scrape (carefully) the gasket off and (carefully) sand and clean the head?

thanks for the reply... umm yea the surface of the head and mani were cleaned well of any gasket residue. its leaking from the passengers side crack where the mani and head mate

 

Did you use a new gasket?

 

brand new for sure (00exgasket). i don't get it...everything looks good. does anyone know the torque specs on the y7 head to mani?

 

i know for sure that your new gasket is miss aligned just a lil bit i guess the dumb *** that helped you put it on didnt watch carefully!!!

hahaha wassap anthony

 

What year intake mani did you use? Does it have anything to do with the AIR injection holes or no? Probably not.

 

nah cause i JBwelded those air injection holes... i got everything working good now...thanks guys.
