22re intake manifold leak EDIT solved the big leak and found another
My 1988 4runner has an 22re intake manifold leak. I was running very lean, so I took my intake apart and found it was warped. I took it in and had it machined. After reinstalling it I am now leaking coolant down the side of the engine from somewhere between the head and intake. I took it apart and put some liquid gasket between the gasket and the head then put the intake back on. After putting it all back together I still have a leak its just less than it was before. I let the liquid gasket set for 24 hours before starting the engine. I was wondering if I need to let it sit longer, or did I screw up by not putting liquid gasket on both sides of the regular gasket?
Does anyone have any other tips here? I need to figure out why I'm leaking now and it wasn't before. This is really irritating because before I was leaking in air and no coolant leak now the air is sealed and I'm leaking coolant. Any information that could help me with this is greatly appreciated.
