Re: Restoring Rusty

guys first of all the new intake manifold only flooded on one side, the passenger side, weird, I have never seen that happen before and this is the fourth manifold I have replaced in my illustrious shade tree mechanic career, JK, and the first I had a problem with

Please Note: That all the other manifolds were always stock OEM ones that I removed, cleaned, and replaced gaskets, then installed them back in. This is the first time dealing with an after market one. But trust me the only thing I am blaming here is myself, not the parts. I took a straight edge to the manifold and it seems fine, no gaps or warps.

I got to tell you that after the swift kick to the groin pain subsided I did not even let one expletive fly, instead I went Def Con Three and had that new manifold off the engine in 7 minutes Pit Crew Style
