I unbolted all the bolts I thought to be attaching my intake manifold and gave it a few hits with a hammer(nothin too hard). I looked in my manual to see if i was missing something and I heard a dripping noise of coolant leaking out to the floor. I did this with toped off cooalnt, I figured it would be alright. Does the coolant flow through the manifold? Did I crack the "block"?

I wanted to ask before I continued to remove it so I don't dump more coolant into the intake. I have a 86 rx7 with a 12a carby.

Thanks.

 

yea, coolant in the manifold is normal.

 

no don't worry as latin said its supposed to be there, theres passages in it for that reason....not sure why you would want 180 degree water in the intake mani...oh well mazda must have done it for some reason... Why are you taking off your mani?
