We hunt down and attempt to fix a weird coolant leak in the Monolith Stupor Stocker Mustang. And while we're at that, we install a new aluminum radiator.
I'm having a mystery leak. Slowly dripping from bellhousing. I have also found some puddles of coolant in the valley of the intake manifold (right side, passenger side) by the fuel Injectors. It must be leaking from up there somewhere. That metal coolant tube isn't leaking. I have no idea where it's coming from... 😕
It's frustrating, isn't it? Have you checked your oil pan rails to see if they're moving the coolant from the front of the engine to the bellhousing, like mine did?
@@The_Performance_Laboratory yes and no coolant on the front of motor. Just on top. And down the back along the bellhousing. Just had this motor put together haven't put 1000kms on it and it already blew a head gasket, fixed that. (I think they didn't torque head down enough) Also an oil leak, from valve cover, fixed that. And now this coolant leak. Also just replaced a blown starter, and installed holley Terminator x system as my stock ECU was giving me trouble. Constantly fixing this damn thing. My phone auto corrects "foxbody" to "fixbody"... My phone knows the truth...
Coolant leaks on a 5.0 SBF? Yeah, I could write a novel.
Thanks for the upload!
Fail is just learning in a crappy and, often, frustrating way...😄😡. Look forward to seeing more progress. Be safe and stay well.
They are so much fun right up until they aren’t lol

@@sean6049 Sorry for laughing at your ordeal, but that is funny.
Can you find some proper intake gaskets, what match to your intake without modifications? I think your leak problems starts there.
The "proper" 1262S3 gaskets leaked too. I have another set on order, so we'll try again...
homer simpson voice "stupid coolant leaks"

Heat cycle and add GM Seal tabs
Enjoy your self deprecating humor
