Re: Coolant Leak
look where at
could be a few things. your intake gasket, head gaskets, casting plugs, etc. -
Re: Coolant Leak
could also be rear main but I highly doubt it
casting plugs = freeze plugs = block core plugs?2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC! DONT feed the Trolls!Comment

Re: Coolant Leak
its just a metal, round plug in the back of your heads probably hidden by a layer of dirt or in the back of your block also hidden by dirtComment

Re: Coolant Leak
I replaced 2 of my block freeze plugs... they're easy to do
I would rather replace the ones on the bottom of the block, yes they are on the BOTTOM
I would hate to have to take off the heads, just to replace a freeze plug2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC! DONT feed the Trolls!Comment

Re: Coolant Leak
You replaced two of the bottoms? Did you use rubber ones or put metal. Did you pull the motor to put them in? I had to replace two of mine and I used rubber and I've had them blow out on me 3 times in the last year!Originally posted by slow6Originally posted by kala

Re: Coolant Leak

Havent came out since, or leaked
I did not pull the motor, just got underneath the car2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC! DONT feed the Trolls!Comment

Re: Coolant Leak
why use rubber? is that an aftermarket piece? I would assume the rubber wouldnt hold up either since your coolant system runs around 15psiComment

Re: Coolant Leak
18psi max here2k2 camaro, K&N, SLP whisper lid, Konis, AEM, HP Tuners, Angel eyes/Halos, CF SS ram air hood, 4.10s, Zexel Torsen, UMI SFCs, CrossFire, BFGs, Gatorback, Catco, Flows, and TLC! DONT feed the Trolls!Comment

Re: Coolant Leak
Mine was the intake gasket. Not only coolant but oil leak. $700 at the dealer.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com
