Intake Manifold leaking - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got the intake manifold back on the 72 but, it seems to be leaking. Looks like in the morning I'll have to take all of the stuff off and start over tightening the bolts on the intake. Ruined my new paint job of it too. RATS

Mine did that too, the bolts were tight, had to put a new gasket on.

sorry to hear that

I am sure you alredy know but remember to tighten the manifold bolts in order (center out) I learned this the hard way.
