    Intake manifold repair help.

    Was at the Wal-Mart buying carb cleaner, when I saw a bottle of k-seal. Figured, why not?! Started up the burb, waited to make sure a wandering car repair magician didn't happen to stop by and fix it while I was asleep (waited for it to start steaming out the tailpipe), and poured in the k...

    Intake manifold repair help.

    To my knowledge it hasn't, but I've only driven it a couple hundred miles. From what I've read, putting gasket sealer on top of the gasket was before the FEL pro metal and rubber gaskets were used. I did put some a half inch up the the top as directed. Before I started the repair I checked...

    OK, let's review my symptoms chronologically, without rose colored glasses on. -oil leak from front of intake -may have lost coolant internally, really unsure since it was new to me. - seemed under powered - no overheating. In fact I always thought the tempo seemed low. - Then I "repaired"...

    I put some sealant under the gasket up to the tab, but not on top. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That's what I'm hoping concerning the heads. That they aren't the issue. Just wasn't sure if I should take the time to address any future issues while I'm that far into it. I used new fel pro bolts that had sealant on them already. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What I don't get use that I didn't have any steam coming from the tailpipe before I changed the intake gasket. How do I tell if it's intake vs heads? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Close! I thought I'd popped the intake gasket, but it was one of the heater control valve hoses. I'm not sure about the steam from the tailpipe. It runs great, good response and power. Stand for awhile, then stopped. Not sure if it's going to keep doing it, only time will tell. I did use...

    Intake manifold repair help.

    Checked it again this morning. No smoke. At all. No steam. Nothing. Went for a careful drive. Nothing. Went for a spirited drive. Nothing. What the heck? Could the weather really have caused that much steam? Could there have been that much condensation in the exhaust system? I'm baffled at...

    Before I parked this thing to work on it, it didn't smoke at all. Now however, there is an excessive amount of steam coming out of the tailpipe. This is after running for 30 min and driving for a couple more. [emoji43][emoji37] Sorry for the bad camera work... So what do you think? Head...

    OK. I was able to figure out why the sensor was not functioning. It didn't have any of the internal parts! And me being the idiot I am, didn't check it before I installed it. That problem is fixed, no more codes!! But wait, there's more... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
