The Sonoramic Commando Intake?

.....Same thing really as a cracked head more or less.....Just different location, makes for a messed up trouble shooting with the engine not running right, with coolant in the mix!

Many vehicles have coolant through the intake. Many modern 4 whangers do, at least until EFI came along

And, the heavy duty truck (Mopar) engines do also

Below is a 413-3, used in heavy trucks and motor homes. There's a lot of difference in the top end of these between a light truck / car RB engine

The heads and intake have coolant through them instead of exhaust for carb heat. Hard to see, but if you look right in the upper center of the exhaust manifold, directly to the right of the chain and above the hook, there's a temperature sender, a LIQUID temperature sender screwed in there



In some ways, this would be "no worse" a problem to find, than if you had EXHAUST type heat crossover. A crack between the exhaust and intake could drive ya nuts for awhile............this was exactly how the very early (72?) EGR setups were done..........jets (orifices) in the bottom of the intake into the exhaust................
