Hey Guys need some help on this one.....after my injector install I took it for a ride and everything was fine, until I got back to my house with it and saw coolant leaking pretty bad.....turns out its coming from a small freeze plug in the back left hand side of the motor.....how do I fix this?

 

POP it out n put new one in

 

do you think it will happen again without having the head o-ringed and all that because of the injectors?

motoxer,

What size injectors did you put in? I would not think that the freeze plug started leaking b/c of injector swap. It may had already started to give and it finally gave up on life. I would swap it out with a new one and keep an eye on it. Good luck on it and I hope that once you swap it out, it is good to go and you can enjoy your new injectors.

oudive,

I put 150hp injectors in it....i never had a problem with coolant leaking in the past....i took it out for a ride as soon as they were done to see the difference they made and as soon as I got back there was a large puddle of coolant under the truck.....it sucks because its almost impossible to get at being in the very back.....in my head i keep thinking the injectors had something to do with it

 

Like oudive said it was prob on way out. Any that extra lil beating u gave it pushed it out. Clean it up nice n smash a new one in. It's tight but can be done.

 

Do you think I should have the head o-ringed and get head studs?

 

If you plan to do some upgrades yea, can't hurt the truck.... only ur pockets

 

I do plan on upgrading the turbo, maybe stacking an edge comp box with my smarty but that's it.....I did get a price on getting the head o-ringed and getting head studs.....quite expensive, good thing I was sitting down

 

A set of studs alone will go a long way. That's all I'm planning to do on my truck. I also have a set of 150's sitting beside me that will go in at the same time.
