Air Intrusion Help
Hey guys, I know there's a few threads about air intrusion already, but I still need help. There is most definitely an air intrusion and I have no idea where it is.

Engine Ruined...
Well, final update everyone. We finally found the time to complete the project. Engine is in the truck and for the most part, it runs pretty well. There's a leaky injector that causes a hard start, but I will be swapping it here soon. Other than that, I'd say so far so good...- mntwins7

More cold issues
What do your injector return lines look like? Also, I can't remember who, but a member did a video of a setup where they checked for air in the fuel lines. I'll try to find it.- mntwins7

Waystro mentioned earlier he had pulled an engine due to overheat. He said he'd ship me the block. I've never opened an engine before, so I wouldn't know where to begin if I went through with this, but I'm pretty desperate. I also got in contact with this guy...- mntwins7
