Subject: Re: Head gasket leaking by JeffK on 2010/9/28 1:26:21 I decided to just get the tstat and do the TB bypass...turns out the intake manifold is part of the problem and the distributor seal is leaking too. My intake and thd front of the engine are covered in all manners of engine fluids. The rtv that is supposed to seal the front of thd manifold somehow got pushed out. There was about 1/4" sticking out and I could see that it was leaking there. I wonder if the rear is leaking too since there is oil on the dust shield. I thought it was the rear main but hopefully it is the manifold gasket. Anyway. I got the plenum and runners off tonight. Not sure when I will have more time to work on it. I assume that it tells me somewhere in the FSM what to do before pulling the distributor right? Excuse any typos. Posting from my crackberry |
