Scarab73 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Hi guys, I'm getting ready to R&R the intake on a 350 Scarab. Being more familiar with SBF Fords, do any of the intake bolts pass through coolant galleys, thus, requiring sealant? Happy Motoring this weekend!

rsicard Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Run a clean-out tap into the cylinder head intake manifold holes to make certain they are clean. Then lube the intake manifold bolts with ant-seize and torque them from the center to the outside. They will be much easier to remove after applying the anti-seize. This process should be used extensively on the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
