do you mean the intake runner and the little short hose that connects to the intake phlenum? the phlenum is the intake air distributor that all the intake runners branch off from.
if so, i will admit to what i did. knowing that these engines are sensitive to air leaks, when i assembled mine, i put a little bit of gasket sealer, i don't exactly remember which kind, it was a silicone based gasket/sealer, reddish in color in a tube from the local Flaps. i just put a small amount in hopes that it would fill in any gaps that would later cause leaks. i did the same thing with the oil return tubes. i just used a little between the o rings and the tube, not the o rings and the engine case.
I'm talking about the tube's and gasket area by the head and injectors, do the short little tube's or runners I mean do they leak also?
