i just installed arp head studs and mr gasket head gasket. i tried to turn the car on and it spits coolant out of downpipe. also coolant is dripping from some where in the back. I torqued all of the bolts down and put all the coolant hoses back. what can be the cause

 

is it the right gasket?

hmm...your best bet is to start the car and watch from where it's coming from. it's really hard to tell just by explaining.

 

its hard to see when everything is in the way. when i drained the coolant it stopped dripping

 

and i dont want to jepordize nothing if coolant is leaking into my cylinders

 

im going to probably just take it apart

when i took off the turbo mani i saw water in 4 and 2. hardly any in 2 but dripping for 4. Then when i took off my intake mani it seemed the the igasket wasnt sealing good and im believe its the intake mani gasket that is letting coolant getting into the cylinders.

i dont think the intake mani gasket would cause that, but a bad headgasket would let it into the cylinders. its there to keep oil and coolant from mixing and from getting into the cylinders (and many other things). id say you either got the wrong head gasket, or its a bad one.
