Billet rocker stands, driprails and why now
By salid - 06/16/2004 10:18:46 PM; IP 24.119.116.8
In my first post I mention that I had found an occassion to install my nearly new (only a year old) rocker stands. Well you might ask, "Why now?" Good question. It is because the motor was beginning to smoke noticably when I let off the gas. So I thought my print-O-Seal intake gaskets might be leaking again. Sometimes they don't seal very well under an alluminum intake (I'm using a PI intake). This is what the gasket looked like on the 6-7 runners. The runners in the head were completely covered in oil. Yeah, you're right, I did rip the gasket getting it off, but you can see how the gasket was cut right were it should be sealing. Now it is true that is may have also been an installation error. I may have over torqued them, or the may have been too loose, or I may have just gotten my intake too close to Print-O-Seal gaskets. I'm going to try the Victor Reinz gaskets. I've heard good things about them.

By the way, you may be thinking the same thing I was when took the intake off. "It looks like either the head face or the intake runner face is not flat." A straight edge says they are.
This thread, so far...
