The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop intake gasket

did you install a new gasket on your heat box?
...pic...


what I like to do is install the two bolts and two nuts on the heat box and leave them loose.

then install the manifold.
then torque in sequence,

heat box 1/3 torque
then torque manifold 1/3

so on.

I did have to take my manifold to a machine shop because it leaked
