Intake manifold coolant leak

SOURCE: Intake Manifold has leaked coolant

This one is a little different and harder to diagnose....as you said it has locked the engine....this is called hydraulic lock and is due to water NOT being compressible......so if the engine is locked what further damage has this caused ?????

I have seen conrods bent and vales damaged due to hydraulic lock......I would suggest having the cylinder head removed at least to inspect.

If somone advises you that all you need to do is to replace intake manifold gasket, and let the engine sit for a few days as the coolant drains out of the cimbustion chamber, they are offering you ill advice, and you should be wary.........

SOURCE: coolant leaking from cracked intake manifold,

ya u cant weld the intake i have tryed with a old one just to see if it could be done. do your homework and find the best price and a shop that can guarentee there work i would aslo see if you can find a used intake at a auto salvage yard or junk yard so your cost may be cheaper.
