so i have a intake manifold swap i did, replaced the gasket, but i left some old gasket on like a dumbass and coolant ran threw the exhaust/muffler, yea...

sooo, i replaced the gasket/cleaned the surfuce, and trying to burn the coolant off. nuteral it doesn't smoke, but when i get on it... it smokes like a *****. I still have some coolant dripped out the exhaust pipe..

any tips to speed the cleaning up, also is there any way i might be leaking coolant still.. but if i was i would have a vacum leak.. and a surging idle.. anyways.. idears ?

 

i had a bad hg once and after all was fixed it still had white smoke like no other.. i just drove it like i stole it and it went away

 

how long did you drive it like that ? like 20 mins, an hour,

i probably drove 45 mins or so.. half of it on the freeway and rest just a little hard on the streets

 

also, if my alternator belt is too tight, would i get a high pitched wine, kinda a supercharger sound ?

 

usally when my belts are too tight ot loose u hear a sound when u first start it or at idle and it goes away. to me it sounds like a screw that wants to come off

 

yea, its prettty tight, my guess is its too tight. I used a wrench to put tension on.. shrug, much thanks man
