If I pull my intake on my 88' N/A do I need to drain the coolant first?



I guess what I am asking is there coolant flowing through the intake manifold?

there is coolant flowing through the throttle body and BAC. just undo the rad cap to unpressurize the system you will get a little coolant. if you want you can drain the whole thing but its not really necessary

None down at the lower manifold then?

not on my TII. i assume the N/A will be the same

Not on an NA. TII's have coolant going through the lower manifold.

So you never took a LIM off of one of those Jspecs?

i did on my blown engine that i pulled out. that was a while ago and there was coolant and oil EVERYWHERE. it was hard to tell where it came from https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Water flows through the LIM for the turbo. That's why the TII rotor housings have those extra holes.
