well it looks like my head gaskets are leaking water, heres a little back ground, the original felpros started leaking the same way, these were installed by the shop, so i pulled those and installed cometics, now those are leaking,,,, compression test shows all cyls in the 220-230 range, heads are eddys, with studs,torqued to 95,,,im wondering if one of the surfaces are out of whack

Maybe a small crack in a head??? You might also check the gasket to make sure the alignment with the coolant passages is ok. Have you tried a leakdown test, night show something before you tear it apart?

Take a look at your intake manifold, if I recall you did the coolant crossover on your manifold, maybe leaking there. Good luck man.
Check the inexpensive and quicker to fix items first.

ok got the manifold off and it appears that the water is coming from there around the water ports, the intake gasket was slightly, swelled in the area around the jacket, thanks for the tips, im gonna install new gaskets and then pressure test the coolant system, to make sure that nothing else is leaking the the heads, the manifold had a slight oil leak out the back bu the distr,so it had to come off anyways,,,thanks again, mike

well looks like the head gasket is leaking a bit too, on pass side below the 4/6 exhaust, im thinking of pulling the motor and get things checked, replacing the head gasket in the car with head studs are a pain, got any tips on cleaning cometics for a second use?? i may make another post for that ?, mike
