I'm finally wrapping up my 22RE EFI Swap, got everything bolted on, go to pour the antifreeze in and notice a decent leak coming from the engine...... No worries, tighten a few hoses under the intake and it does nothing to stop the leak.

After some looking around, I see that the antifreeze is coming from between the Head and the Block, under the Intake Manifold, on the front half of the engine. Fawk, FAWK, FAWK!!!!!!

I put on the head I got w/ the EFI parts......... but don't think the head could be warped that bad COULD IT?? Why would it be leaking out?

I'm thinking about pulling it all out and rebuilding the motor this time. I should have done that the first time.......... :(

lol...BUMMER:rolleyes:

There is a metal tube that connects right in the middle of the intake underneath. The stock o-ring always seems to break. Just make sure that is tight and/or put a ring of permatex around it. Also, I have seen the air hose that goes to the air valve switched with the water hose that connects with the metal pipe that comes from the timing cover behind the water pump. If this is the case you will suck water into your engine instead of water. Just a thought....

Maybe a dumb question but did you torque down the head bolts and change the head gasket? I didn't torque the head bolts once and it leaked also.

Yep, new gasket and triple Torqued the bolts.

I'll look for the O-Ring, but this leak is coming from the Head.......
