haha, still got a lot of work, adam.

The fucking coolant is leaking from the intake manifold, so i had to pull that WHOLE THING OFF. UGH.

Ordered up new metal intake manifold gaskets, but they won’t be here for a while… Bummer.

yeah. he helped. 🙂

I have ANOTHER coolant leak, this one probably IS my fault… But I have to pull a lot of shit apart to fix it. I ordered new gaskets, once they arrive I can put this back together:
