My first post said intake plenum instead of runners. Prolly made a few of ya's go.. Huh? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Anyway, I'm restaing the question with the correct title (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) sorry! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)
Do these gaskets get installed dry.... gasket against metal with no gasket seal like the stuff we use on the valve covers? Got mine off to replace runner hose so as to eliminate another vacuum leak possibility. Speaking of... I found the nuts on the runners to be a little more than hand tight. This may have been the leak I was looking for but it's off now so the new goes on. Also, anyone know the torque? thanks..........b |

I've never seen them with sealant. If loose, they are prolly old and stretched. If the new ones are loose, I would use some hose clamps, but ya shouldn't have to.
