sleeve and pistons

i think my block may have a crack. it seems that coolant is getting inside the combustion camber. is this a sign of a crack block? any advise on which sleeve and pistons i should get? im boosting 15 psi.

probably a head gasket..

you'd have to do something pretty nuts to crack one of these sleeves.

It could still be the head gasket... did you check the deck or the head? I have seen a lot of blown up shit but never a cracked sleeve on an s20000 motor

There are 2 other possible coolant leakages:
- intake manifold gasket (at cyl. 4)
- Idle Control Valve at the Intake Manifold
