so I just changed my intake gasket and used the fel pro ones with the rubber front and back seals. I drained my brand new oil that I didn't even put a mile on because of my internal coolant leak I left the drainplug open after and all the oil was completely leaked out. I started pooring my coolant in my radiator and I looked at my oil drain hole and I see coolant dripping in my pan I am so frustrated. here are some pictures heres a couple pics of it
and thats my oil drain plug......

its not a headgasket. the motor ran perfectly fine before I pulled it out, changed the oilpan gasket, rear main seal and the intake gasket

You put silicone around water Ports on intake gasket?

yea I took the plenum off again and resealed it with permatex thermostat housing gasket and slapped it back in. My timing cover gasket is soggy so I'm in the process of changing that out

Try using cork instead of rubber material for the gasket.
Its a long shot, but hey you never know.
I'm sorry about the problem.
I hope you get it fixed!!

No no and no sorry man but i gotta save you on this one..never use a cork or rubber gasket for an intake to block seal doing an intake manifold re seal on a SBF...it will cause you more issues down the road 9 times outta 10 than if you just use a healthy bead of silicone...rubber gasket for the oil pan is also a prime choice,over time with heat and oil our beloved SBF's work cork gaskets in all my experience,I'm sure people have used them with great results but I never put a sbf together with cork just won't do it..also rubber on the valve covers is another prime choice!! Good ole fel-pro gaskets for the rest of gods gift as an engine aswell!!!
OP..if its NOT the intake gasket sealing properly which sacstang has a very valid point with BTW,I would def start with your timing chain cover gasket,I've had the same issue 3 times in a row in the same night until I realized my cover was warped and junk and I put another one on and fixed the issue...not saying your cover is bad but a sbf timing chain cover gasket/front main seal area is always a bitch in the car I don't care if the OGs on the site argue I know from LOTS of exp lol they can ruin a day or flow smooth like glass..good luck man remember to use BOTH dowels if you don't already have them and clean clean clean that surface of the block/cover that gets sealed! That is your "barrier" take care of it...don't forget change that oil too..

u can use cork or rubber or silicon if u know what ur doing. i use silicone with the best long term results. your intake gasket ripped. do it over and this time use the proper tourqe procedures.

It's not about knowing what your doing its the fact that rubber and cork will fail 10x that of proper silicone on the intake to block seal.. Rubber and cork rip and deteriorate.. [ 2013-08-09, 10:35 AM: Message edited by: SIC9250 ]

it is the timing chain cover gasket. the coolant will puddle up on the top drivers side of the timing cover and when I drain the coolant the puddle magically disappears. I've changed the gasket once 4 years ago along with the water pump a new timing cover and gasket

how long does it take to drain the coolant out of the oil my oil drain hole was open the whole time I was pooring coolant down my radiator. I didn't even start my car yet.

Hey bro, to me it sounds like your intake gasket either moved out of place or folded.this has happened to me in the past, you learn from your mistakes, and like others said , please add a good silicone bead around the water ports, it also helps it stick in place. If you have doubts you can always rent a colant pressure tester from autoZone. It's free just gotta leave a deposit.
