As I posted on the other site, try the water pump first I think,, quicker and easier. If it holds 25 lbs, almost certainly not the intake gaskets. Once they start leaking, it washes any sealer away and they won't reseal.No such luck, it's a full on pan shake.
I guess I'm on the search and repair track, starting with the intake gaskets.:|err

Also, the intercooler did not have water running through it?
ARP head studs I'm guessing? Shouldn't be an issue unless you've severely over heated or over torqued them. They'll pull out of the block before you can do that, so I think you're OK there.Stalker!
Pump tested fine, even submerged it under pressure.
I checked the chiller core when I had it torn down, it's fed from the water pump.
Shouldn't have a crack anywhere, it was fine before. I had to go through it when the oil pickup fell off. Caught it in time never got hot and just lightly scored the mains. Changed the bearings, honed the cylinders and reassembled, it had very low hours it from the previous build.
Do ARP studs have a limit on reuse?
Felpro's fine. I usually glue the gasket to the heads with a bead of Super Weatherstrip Adhesive around the ports, and a little silicone around the water passages. Then a littel more silicone around the water passages on the intake side and a thin layer of white grease around the ports. A good bead of Ultra Seal on the ends, and you should be GTG.Got the intake off today and it looks like a tiny weep at one port.
I was thinking along the same lines as you SC. It was a light milking with about 30 minutes on the trailer but figured pulling the huffer and chiller doesn't take any time. I have to drag it 5 hours to test drive it.New intake gasket, bolt it up and pray a little.
Thanks for the responses.
Intake gasket recommendations?
Felpro has been good to me.
