| Intake install problems |
| By Bob S. - 04/09/2005 9:09:19 PM; IP 66.67.11.206 |
Installing an alluminum e-brock intake on a 73 351W. After installing the gaskets and RTV, just filling the motor with water, I get a leak on the front and back of the the passenger side of the intake at the point where the block, intake and head meets. It appears that the water jackets are leaking "around" the gasket and then obviously out of the motor. My last try, I applied RTV around the water jacket and then applied the gasket on top, with another bead of RTV before reinstalling the intake. I am letting the RTV setup overnight before trying to fill again. Anyone with any experience with this type of problem that could lend an idea or two would be appreciated. I used a straight edge to determine if I had any warp issues, and the intake appears to be straight.
Thanks again for any help on this one. |
