Re: **cooling system issue**

UPDATE**

So I got the truck running again and starts right away. FINALLY

Now... it still smokes like a freight train. I'm hoping maybe it's just burning off oil and everything from when the engine blew but I have a feeling something else has happened.

Stupid question but I'm asking anyway.... the intake manifold gasket has a small leak around the 2 and 3 piston. Would this cause the smoking? I don't think I tightened down the manifold bolts enough because I was afraid of doing too much to start. Going to run a compression test on the pistons this weekend and try to fix the manifold in hopes this is the cause and not something worse.
