stupid 3.1 v6. i now have milkshake inside my valve covers but not in my crankcase. im thinking lower intake manifold gasket leak? refresh my memory and tell me what causes this

 

oil and coolant mixing, possibly blown head gasket.

With hope its not a cracked head

 

I agree. Manifold gasket won't put coolant intothe oil, but leak it externally,along woth into the heads. No oil in the manifold.
I'd lean towards a bad head gasket.

 

I've also seen cracked blocks, cracked heads, and bad timing cover gaskets or the cover itself cause this. IMO your best bet is to toss a used engine in it. I've seen them at the junk yard for under $200 and can be installed in under 10 hrs

 

if i remember there is a pressure test that can be done on your coolant system to test to see if its leaking but as to where that's harder.

I would start saving for the operation, watch your dip stick and as soon as you see it at all on your dipstick its time to go. This could be pushing it though.

 

back to the L67 :P

 

other then a teardown how can i tell if its a intake gasket, head gasket, or just a busted *** engine?

 

95% guarantee its not a intake gasket, its oil mixing with coolant, so unless you have oil in your intake then its not there.

I don't have much experience with superchargers so not sure where they are lubed from.

Here's your best bet buy a chiltons manual or one of the manuals for the car. go to changing the head gasket and make a list of part and tools you need. You need to change the head gasket so the intake will get changed in the process

 

well problem solved, i bought a Roush F150 :-D

 

Ruined a good thing :P
