Modified Intake Manifolds
Alright guys, here is the latest pic of my engine bay. I just installed the modified intake manifolds and had the CAI pipes painted as well to match the valve covers. Watcha think? I hand tightened the bolts first, then used 5 ft lbs, then 7.5 ft lbs on the final tightening – no leaks. However, I thought I did hear a leak and began using the Waldig rubber hose listening tool but that was not giving me what I needed so I grabbed my wife’s stethoscope and found the noise coming from one of the hoses on the oil catch can. The sound was probably always there but I never focused on listening before the install. Also, using the 3M Super 77 spray made the install of the gaskets a piece of cake. The idle is where it should be which seems to be a good indicator if you have any leaks.
FYI…I think Rob is taking a Marketing class because everytime I call him I buy something! Soooo, I just received the Zeitronix system with boost sensor and will be installing that over the next couple of weeks. I am a little nervous with this project but plan to do plenty of research to make sure I have everything covered.
Later
