| Yep, intake manifold gaskets are probably the culprit. A V-8 is a terrible design in that respect.....4 pieces (intake, 2 heads and block) all having to align perfectly, and stay that way wether the enigne is hot or cold is just a touchy system. Anyway, I had a leak not related to intake gaskets. I mistakenly used Fel-Pro gaskets on a 428 that were NOT the hi-performance ones. Apparently Fel-Pro makes an economy gasket. I didn't know that at the time. Comparing the two types makes it obvious. I have no idea why anyone going to the trouble to rebuild an engine would take the risk of the el-cheapo gaskets, nor do I know why Fel-Pro would make such pieces of crap. Anyway, one of the ones I used developed a leak from one of the water jacket holes from the block to the head and leaked into a cylinder. A new set of the proper gaskets solved the problem. |
