93 Intake leak

[Joe 1320]

No wonder the intake was leaking...... look at the crap silicone that was used once before. I swear that this was done before using clear that turned cloudy from the oil. not only that, the bolts weren't even tight.



And one of the intake pulled:



And finally, one of the nice thick bead of high temp black used for the correct repair:

Hey, that looks familiar lol . Definitely looks like clear silicone. Gonna use the copper stuff for the new seals? Also, might not be a time to replace the FPR and EGR...maybe even the injectors if you'v got a spare set or can get a good set for cheap. I'd highly recommend the SLP set, but they stopped sellig them. Plus, since you've already got it open, a TB air foil wouldn't be bad either . Only thing is, if you don't go with the stock flow rate, you've gotta get a custom chip (as you already know I'm sure ), so that would start eatin' up your budget. But, a little more juice and less noise from the motor would be worth it IMHO. Hope this helps .

I thought about it, but in the 3rd pic you can see the high temp black. I did the whole thing in 2½ hours but let it cure until today. It fired right up and runs strong. By the way, I did sneak an airfoil in there while the elbow was off. and bypassed the coolant lines to the throttle body. I tested the EGR, it works fine. Had to replace a couple of rubber elbows on some of the vacuum lines, but other than that she's good to go.

Good deal . Mine runs much better since I replace the sticking EGR (thanks again ). Btw, are your injectors clacking or are they pretty quite? Mine were, thought I had a major problem at first lol.

I can't say they are noisy, but then again I was used to it due to the batch fire system in my 93 Vette.

Good way to tell is to listen to the TA idle then listen to the Z idle...you'll hear the clacking.

Definatley know that engine bay. Havent been that far into it yet tho.
