I'll make you one, just give me a few business days to do it.

But....if the hack job you have now isn't leaking, why change it?

I'll take one as well if your up to making one.

Thanks

If its leaking in the valley, the top of your block will not be wet,

...but the valley is the top of the block. I'm going to put new O-rings in the COTs as well though so I should be covered.

How much are they? Mine hasn't been done yet either.

Yea it is

Just wanted to know more about the location of the puddle of coolant...

You had mentioned the water pump connection in the valley, but if that is leaking you wouldn't be able to visually see any "wetness" looking down at the motor

Advance auto parts has a pressure tester for rent that has the appropriate adapter.

Ahhhhh gotcha. Well there is no puddle under the car or in the valley, but when I removed the lower intake the valley was all wet. Could be condensation or a leak, but as I said I burped the system probably over a dozen times, once every morning for over a week, and there remained air in the COT. I thought maybe a very small leak at the back of the water pump or at either of the COT O-rings could cause this.

You will most likely have to pressurize the system manually with the intake removed.

If you really think its that small of a leak, put shop rags around each joint and leave it pressurized for a while, if you come back and any of them are wet, then there you go.....

Thats a very nice kit , and I like that it goes on the back of the head saving real estate at the rear of the intake for fuel line fittings.
