Well did the vacume test on the coolant system and its dropping about a pound every 2 and a half minutes from 24lbs. The first time I did the test I could hear a little noise so adjust some clamps and now I don't really hear anything. So what should I do next? Should I get a stethoscope and try to hear the leak or fill the system up with coolant which I don't want to do if there is a leak. Just didn't want to tak all the pipes and t fitings until I find the leak. Or do I do some kinda dye and black light method

 

Why not vacuum test again and see if that fixed the leakdown.

 

Tried over and over and even took a incense and did my own smoke test to see if it suck up anywhere . Nothing though. Re did the pipe install again still. Dry minute leak still losing a pound every two and a half to three min maybe. So I went ahead and just put the coolant in and hoping to find a leak. If I don't find any leaks then what? Do a pressure test ? And see what that comes up with?

 

I m going to put the intake back on and drive it for awhile and see what happens. I really don't want to sell it. But if it's a head gasket I'm probably done. I think it would cost to much for me to have that done.
