460 pressure

how pressurized is the intake manifold.

behind the distributor, i can see that the silicone has blown a little, a little coolant is dribbling out of the gap. is there that much pressure, that i am going to leak that much antifreeze.

There should be no antifreeze coming from under the intake. There is antifreeze in passages on the outside edges, where the heads and intake meet. It could be trickling from there to the bottom of the intake.

Its not good any way you look at though.

You could get some coolant in your engine oil or suck coolant in to the intake passages and injest it in the combustion chambers.

Sure it can last for a while.

Just keep an eye on your fluid levels.

It will let you know when its about ready to let go.
