i think i may have problems hopefully someone can help. i have anti-freeze bubbling up on my intake it looks to me as if it is coming up around my intake bolt in the front right. does this bolt run into a water jacket or do i have more extreme problems? i'm about at my wits end trying to solve this one i don't know enough about this engine to know so i'm asking one more time. i thank you all for any info you can possibly give me

What type engine is it?

360 fe it was in my 74 truck originally

Hello chappy; Looks like the water port are at both ends of the heads on the intake side.Probable just the intake manifold gasget.The bolt seem to be just to the out side of the water jacket or right beside it. Pull the intake look at the gasget you'll probable find the gasget is bad next to that bolt and blowing water in to that bolt hole and up thru it around the top of the bolt. Hope this is what you wanted to know and I hope it helps.

It maybe that all you need is to do is remove the bolt and put some thread sealant on the bolt, and then of course, don't forget to install that bolt again. hehehe!

Now come on I was gonna make him work to fix that problem.
