never heard of it...tried searching forit and couldnt find anything....so what is that?

 

OK BIG QUESTION BEFORE I RE-ASSEMBLE

should i mount the intake gaskets to the manifold or head before putting in? which is the best way to prevent any movment of gasket?

and is there a certain way for gaskets to go in? like manifold side/head side? i dont have indicators on them, but my old ones did...


and never get aircraft remover on you (using to clean everything)....i got it on my arms and stomach, and felt like i was in a fire getting third degree burns...that **** hurt

 

bump...

 

on the heads cuz u also have the rubber gaskets on the front and back and you should put a dab of silicone where they meet

 

i forgot about those 2 gaskets...alright apriciate it...hopefully the re-assemble goes smooth

 

good luck !!

 

thanks i think ill need it

 

You are using a Haynes manual at least for re assembly right? Like for instance you need rtv in the four corners where the rubber gaskets meet the side gaskets. And you don't want to put anything on the side gasket's, there should be some tabs sticking out from the head gaskets that the intake gaskets will be held in place with.


I can actually see the 2 front tabs in one of your pics.

 

yea i got them lined up. all i have to do is drop the manifold in and tighten...(but it keeps raining, so im running out every open window i have)....and once i get that in, ill do the rest while its raining....its not heavy rain, just showers

 

if its not too late, here's a tip for easy alignment of intake to head....

cut the heads off 4 of your old intake bolts and thread them in a couple of turns. drop the intake over the studs. start the new bolts and then remove the studs.
