Check my TBI intake bolts!

Well this was the original gasket and I have 85K on the engine if that gives you an idea. It is usually the front or rear RTV seals that will fail. Mine failed in the front. right corner.

i hope the best of your luck man. do you have to torque em a certain way??

 

[haks310]

Thanks.

Yeah, first the 4 middle ones, the rear 4 and the front 4, all in a criss cross pattern. Torque is 35lbs IIRC

are you done yet?!!!!!!!!!
lets see some pics and your review on this thing, i was looking at one before, never got to it!

LoL I am going to drop it in tomorrow, nice day to go to the beach today.

So tomorrow I will drop it in and torque everything down...let it sit until Sunday and re-torque everything. After that, the fun will begin! Hopefully I do not run into anything serious along the way. Haven't received the MSD wires from SummiRacing, if anything I will go to Kragen and buy them and do a return when the ones from Summit Racing do get here. Not in a big rush though, slow and steady wins the way...well at least with some girls it does.

do you usually give it a day to retorque it?? never heard of that.. hmm well keep us posted!

 

[haks310]

Well I torque them down past the 35lbs it asks for and let the intake sit a day so the RTV can fully cure. Then I do my final check the next day and torque down again if needed.
