HMMM not what i was hoping for it seem's to be missing back fires when you put your foot down even when in idle it doesn't sounds right a couple of coolant leeks and one of the pipes for the gearbox oil that goes to the radiator has a cut in it FML

Sounds like it might be out of time. Maybe chack that?

 

[darcycammo]

this is what it sounds like i didn't get to run it for long before the gearbox oil started leaking

More bad news by the looks of it water in the oil would the engine assembly lube make the oil turn white this thing is shitting me now

 

[MACE]

It could be drawing in water into the intake. By the sounds on it you have water mixing with the oil somewhere. Likely the inlet manifold gaskets or head gaskets

Also make sure that you have the spark leads in the right order.

The reason for the backfire and shitty idle was because of the spark plug leads i had on it i put another pair on and it was fine the main problem now is when you go to put it in anything other then P / N it just stalls unless you rev it a bit but as soon as you take your foot of it stalls

 

[MACE]

How does it idle in those gears?

You may want to consider cracking open the butterfly a little bit more then factory

 

[darcycammo]

in P or N it idles fine but if you rev it then just let it drop it goes to stall but in like D or R you have to keep your foot a little on the accelerator otherwise it just stalls
