ive seen antifreeze get poured down the fill tube, ive seen washer fluid go in there, noone did any of those goofups and was afraid to say anything right?

i really hate to hear that kind of problem

i'd really consider head and intake gaskets

i haven't had to do such work on a kj, but you should be able to replace the intake gasket pretty easy with common tools just be careful not to drop anything in there, and if thats the problem then you might be just fine, if it's head gaskets then well.. the intake gasket only cost ya like 20 bucks
