| RE: Intake Manifold Swap, Beware |
| By Bill Ballinger - 08/19/2000 9:28:43 AM; IP 208.44.154.54 |
Intake manifolds can sometimes be a pain to get the bottoms of the ports to seal on these engines. If the angle of the intake setting to the valley causes a gap in the bottom they will suck oil into the ports and burn it like crazy. If your block or heads have ever been decked(especially without precise milling equipment to track the angle), the intake will need the angle matched. There is a possibility also that an intake you buy may have been modified to fit a "cut" engine.
You might want to get someone(if you don't have the experience yourself) who can acccurately measure the angles with a protractor and see if they are square to each other. It will save you grief later pulling it and doing it again. |
