coolant in intake

im thinking of getting an 85 gs and it has a problem with coolant getting into the intake. the engine aparently has a very fresh rebuild so its probably either a gasket thing or at most i am think i'd have to replace the whole intake. no to much either way but if i am wrong or anybody has suggestions or anything else to look for i am all ears. this will be my first rx-7 but i know they are good cars and would like to make this one work.

If its just leaking start with the gasket, if not check the intake o rings.

I have an extra intake for sale if you need it. I will take 10 bucks plus shipping. It is for a 12A motor too.

yea its a 12a and if the guy still has it i will be picking it up in a day or so. in which case i will take you up on the intake. even if its just a gasket a spare intake would not hurt.
