Well…we got the intake manifold out and from what I’m seeing, I’m pretty sure it was a bad intake gasket.

Going to start cleaning it up and putting it back together. If it’s more than a bad gasket, going to have to have some different conversations with Joseph on how far we dig into this thing.

It is pretty nasty in there. That’s for sure, but it’s a 25 yr old motor.View attachment 361294View attachment 361295View attachment 361296
I've def seen worse. Hopefully that's all it is. Is there a lot of sludge in the valley? Glad to see Joseph elbow deep in there--although I'm not surprised.

It's your posts like this that make me question my manhood. It's 45° out and I'm hiding inside like a little bítch. Well done, Joseph, Wade and Julie!
