Thread: Intake gaksets blowing out....

[QUOTE=Mikej;342322]If this started with an intake change it probably is the intake.

I have to keep coming back to this, also. I've changed dozens of intakes, using cork, rubber, rtv, without problems. I guess the thing to do is to remove it, clean it up, and take it to a qualified machine shop to check it out. I am convinced that the crank case evac tubes are working, and if it had a hole in the piston, broken rings, etc. the motor would not be running properly. Thanks.

well did you check the crank case evac ? and like jerry said you can not run that setup with EX with muffs i know it will not work no matter how big of a ex you have as for a machine shop looking at your intake they are not going to tell much from just the intake they would need the engine to make sure it fit right and has the same angle has the heads. the part of the intake your blowing out just is not a big deal less you have some pressure in the crank case it coming from some were you need to check were it coming from the end rails are the dumb part of the intake if you have some gap for rtv or gaskets it will work i cut and fitted and built intakes this parts of the intake is not very critical longs as when the intake is tq down you have gap on the china walls of the block so the intake gaskets seal the ports and not hold in up with no gap the intake bottoms out
