z ya Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 It looks like I stopped the dreaded intake manifold leak! I drove it around the Hood for a while and no leaks. But man am I paranoid!

Guest BigWhyteDude Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 if you dont mind my asking how did you stop the leak?? Did you just put a bigol fat beed of sylicone there or something more professional? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z ya Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 I changed from Permatex rvt to GM blk rvt. Also I used some very light sand paper on the block rails to make sure all oils and grit were removed. Cleaned everything with carb cleaner. Also I ended up using the cork ends on the back side of the block with a small 1/8" bead. The front I used pure RVT. So far so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
