STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

Just my opinion, but that doesn't look like any kind o-ring I have seen. I deal with a lot of hydraulics and that doesn't look like any kind of heat related damage to an o-ring. That does look like silicone.

I've seen o-rings melted very similar to that.

I've notice in the applications I have dealt with that they will fray and crack, but that is really extreme.

What applications have you seen this if you don't mind me asking?

I've mostly worked on fruitland pumps

My Avalon has a melted gasket like that, and there was 1 more recently, but I have been racking my brains out trying to figure out what it was on... Can't remember

yes I have to take a better picture of the o rings when I get home at 11pm est. I have given them plenty of time to look at the issue before the post as well offered to send the manifold in for them to swap out at the least, but its out of warranty we'll just wait till something bad happens to someone else before we look further into it. LETS GO GM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the manifold gaskets was a second issue they they have found after we noticed the water leak, then its all about the manifolds lol

My question is ok rtv on the o-ring sure but what in the hell dented your intercooler through the rear throttle opening? If the leak wasn't a bad solder job on the plates i would put money on the front of that core being f'ed up as the cause of the hydrolocking Hard to imagine that a core inside an alluminum manifold could get damaged any time other than during assembly. maybe it got banged while putting it in the manifold.

Edit: or is that just water? hard to tell. I would definitely figure out where that core was leaking from if it just cost you a motor.

the core is not dented its water pooring out as I had it hooked to the hose.
