upper plenum to intake gasket quick question


hosser

Recommended Posts

well i have been waiting till i could get the time to do this and today, i sorta had the time. its dark now and i just got the plenum off oo sooo cold outside. i taped up everything pretty good incase somehow rain got under the hoods seal (if it decided to rain) and put the plenum in my room. this shouldnt be a problem eeh?

 

so anyway.. i had some problems with the 2 inch hose going into the plenum near the throttle body and i had to jerk on it pretty hard.. well when i got the plenum off the gasket was cracked hardcore. not one litlle chunk, more like a dozen. After i jumbled the plenum all over the place i am not certain if any gasket chunks might have fell into the intake manifold. i dont have a torque wrench so i dont think ill do the intake man gaskets because i found the problem, if any little chunks got into the intake would that cause a problem?

It's hard to say, if you have the use of a high power shop vac (6.25 hp works best) You could always try to suck it out. Just a thought.

 

I have a 6 horsepower shop vac and I think it could suck it out. I would try that and after that just hope for the best :lol:
