the true reason the red dragon breathes fire

well on my 4th attempt to seal the intake manifold to stop her from spewin oil out the china wall i got too pissed and thought i couldnt seal a intake any more

wrong you talk to the right people and you figure things out since my heads were shaved a little bit and have that different bolt pattern it leaves a big gap on the front and rear china wall which i can quite litteraly move the gasket if i use it up and down

also the damn valve covers are leaking still cause they are warped when i checked them last night and they werent cut straight oh wel they were free

so final decision im pulling the heads again and having the machine shop make the sealing surface correct again

Don't pull the heads, have the intake milled.

Fine then................

I will take the S.R off your hands. Sandblast it, redue it to my picky specs then have it powdercoated satin black to match my rims....oh, and have my nice polished valve covers dipped in the black stuff as well.
