2.8 intake gaskets

[akmade65]

Hi I bought a 85 B2 with 2.8 a4ld. It was in pieces and some parts were missing. I have rebuilt the 2.8 completely and have gotten it back together. after running maybe 10 min. it started burning antifreeze. I hoped it was leftover in the exhaust burning off but it has yet to stop. nothing is getting into the oil or radiator. plugs all look good and it runs real smooth. fist 2.8 and it was in pieces when I got it. Not a novice builder. Anything I could have missed or has anyone had trouble with intake gaskets not sealing? So far it has about 30 min on it and otherwise runs great. Any suggestions? Thanx Tim

Found it intake gaskets did not seal.

That's good! It needs to be done on my 4.0. seems like it seems like more people have problems after doing intake gaskets then if they had not done them at all! I'm sure that's not true, but it just seems like it because we don't get success stories very often, something so easy shouldn't be so difficult!
