hey guys i just did a v6 to v8 swap the headers i put on during the swap are shooting antifreeze it seems to have calmed down a little but im not sure the motor was out of a z28 that had been rolled any thoughts guys on the problem or will it clear its self up with time

 

Let me get this straight... The HEADERS are shooting antifreeze? That's impossible. Now worst come to worst, let me try and decode this a little. Your heads are leaking coolant onto your headers. In tha... wait no. man wtf. Explain a little better.

 

are you in my garage no! im just trying to get a little help here man you don't have to be a ***** there is no exhaust just straight headers i can watch a green liquid(antifreeze) shoot from the end of the header all the way back to the end of my car

 

Say what?

Green antifreeze? I thought these cars were supposed to use orange/Dexcool?

 

are you serious i didn't know that my v6 used the green stuff

 

haha. You dont have green antifreeze shooting from your exhaust. Get back on the meds.

 

are you far from lawerenceburg cause im about to have a friend come kick your a** you s.o.b. if you don't understand don't post

 

have you everheard of antifreeze getting into oil? well thats when the head is screwed up there is also a possibility of the head being so messed up it's leaking into the headers from the head

 

In all seriousness, the head gasket leaked and your dumping coolant into some exhaust port of your heads. Is it both headers shooting out this green fluid, or just one bank? Open your radiator cap, watch the level of coolant (AFTER your thermo has opened) fill it up, does the level keep going down? If so the obvious answer is pull the heads replace the gaskets.

Have fun & welcome to cz28. I was just messin earlier

 

alright thaks man it's only coming from one side i think i was getting pissed some people just are ****** thanks for the help

 

95 and earlier did use green...not orange

 

Could be a number of things Blown Head gasket, Cracked or warped head/block.

 

Definately sounds like a head gasket. But the other things 7dust mentioned are also a possibility.
