  • coolant leak inside the engine

    For those that dont know, i recently pulled my engine and had it rebuilt. put it in and cranked it ran it for about 5 minutes and filled the crankcase with water. I pulled it back apart top end, front cover, and pass head, made sure everything looked good, all sealing surfaces were cleaned good, put it back together and started it up. ran pretty decent for about a week, i checked the oil every day and didnt find anything till last week, more water in the oil.

    Is there a way i can pressure test and find where the water would be leaking from on the inside?I am pulling it back apart today to replace the lower intake, as i have an extra, but i would like to try to find the leak before i tear it down.

    HELP!

    I would have the heads tested to see if they have a crack somewhere. Same for upper/lower intakes.
