    My stock manifold leaks air

    Thanks for all the replies! This is my 2nd or 3rd time replacing this gasket (not for this reason exactly)... Last time I used the rubber seals and had bad luck with them. The rear seal ended up leaking oil out a corner. This time I just put a thick line of GM engine sealant (gray in color...

    Manifold Leaks, among other things...

    Hey guys, I've been troubleshooting a vacuum leak for quite some time now and finally decided to make a custom pressure block off for the intake tract.

    Knock Question

    Really? That is interesting. I will look into this more. I know that it affected the IAC. It didn't seem to affect the BLMs but I will have to leave it in for a while and see if any thing changes as I drive it. The car is at my parents house so I usually only work on it on the weekends.

    Knock Question

    No it was wrench tight. 14 ft/lbs is not that much, I don't know if that is the issue but possible. As far as the vacuum leak situation goes, I just decided today to swap out my pcv valve from rjc to the stock one that was on it prior to the rjc. I did notice that the IAC number was in the...
