coolant problems

dag545 · January 29th, 2008, 05:05 PM

I put on the explorer upper/lower combo and some other things to my 95, but im blowing white smoke. My question is the egr hole directly in the center of the lower mainfold that does not connect to the upper. as yall probally know that. I goofed up and did not plug that hole. So could that be pushing coolant through my lower to make it push out whie smoke?

small note - blue smoke oil
black smoke - grease or carb build up

for the most part.

coolant is getting in somewhere. If it didn't do that before the swap you might have screwed up one of the gaskets either head or intake.
