Inline Pro turbo setup, inline pro built motor. AP2 head(checked by machine shop), oem head gasket, and arp head studs.

Went to start engine for first time and water is pouring out the exhaust manifold where it bolts up with the head? No smoke out exhaust, but then again once I saw the 2ft diameter puddle on ground I shut it off, only had ran maybe 30 seconds. I'm so tired of working on this car, what would ya'll guess? I'm thinking head gasket, but damn that is a big leak. No leaks from where the head bolts to block.

Only other thing I can think of is maybe I put a coolant line up to vacuum and it's just sucking in coolant. But that seems highly unlikely, there aren't that many lines and they all pretty much make sense.

 

Take a pic of where its coming from.

 

Had the same thing happen to me yesterday, coolant was coming out where the turbo flange and exhaust manifold meet. Mine is definately from a blow hg. This is the second time this has happened. But on a newly built motor im not sure if this would be the case???? Who put the head on the block ip or you, were the oem headbolts torqued with the right procedure and to spec?? Mine blew durning a 2nd gear pull and there was no leaking where the head bolts to the block either.

 

I had a problem similar to this once and it was because I had put a coolant line on where a vacuum line was supposed to go on the intake manifold.

 

You may have a cracked head. Did you get it checked for cracks before installing it?

 

Bingo, haha dammit. Well it runs fine now, just letting the system burp itself out. Wish there was a easy way to do it on these cars.

 

do like i read krazik does it, jack the front up so that the radiator cap is the highest point of the system, then start teh car and let it run with the heat on full blast. the air should make its way to the highest point, the cap
