| Intake gasket swap out complete (almost) |
Subject: Intake gasket swap out complete (almost) by 92LRC on 2009/4/9 13:33:52 Well Ive just about finished replacing the intake manifold gaskets (had an oil leak). Also cleaned up and painted the manifold while I was at it. I say almost complete because it looks like the throttle cable connection is sticking a little and producing really high revs. Any suggestions here? Is there some type of lube I should put on this? Anyway heres a few pics of the project as it went along (sorry no pics of the re-install I ran out of batteries for the camera). The nastiness that was my TB and intake. Im pretty sure these items had never been cleaned before (car has 112K).
