Edelbrock intake installation

We always used this yellow stuff we called gorilla snot lol it came in a squeeze tube. JakeDW , Jan 11, Joined: Mar 12, Posts: Profile Page. When I bought a can I had to ask the clerk for it. They keep it under the counter because it's like model glue and they don't want kids sniffing it. I installed my manifold exactly as ebrock said using their gaskets. Vortec heads on a SBC. The ebrock gaskets are a thick, two layer design.

The gasgacinch side of the gasket sealed ok. On the other side of the gasket, where they say don't use gasgacinch, the second layer sucked up into the intake port, causing a massive oil leak into cylinders 4 and 6.

Alittle internet research found this to be not unusual. Felpro rubber coated steel gaskets are in there now, installed dry per the instructions, and no problems.

Permatex Indianhead sealer would be another to consider, as well Permatex hylomar. My favorite gasket dressing is Permatex Aviation sealer - unlimited assembly time. For the ends I would use Permatex Right Stuff. Saved me removing the pan when doing the timing chain. Also used Right Stuff for the tranny pan with no gasket.

Permatex for the win! Joined: Aug 21, Posts: 8, Profile Page. Joined: Dec 4, Posts: Profile Page. It worked just fine, but my impression of it was that it seemed identical to the contact adhesive that you would use to glue down Formica to a kitchen countertop.

Along with right stuff to seal front and rear. With great sucsess. Setting the intake in place and not moveing it around is where you get a good seal. Dont forget right stuff on bolts to stop oil from wicking up them and sitting on intake. Last edited: Jan 13, What about this product? Joined: Jul 15, Posts: Profile Page. They are just recommending to use an adhesive to help hold the gaskets in place during assembly. I use 3M general trim adhesive.

It's the job of the gasket to seal, not the glue. DoubleJ52 , Jan 12, Joined: Aug 14, Posts: 11, Profile Page. I would whatch out with that right stuff. Have you tryed to take somthing apart after using it. That stuff is bad ass. Joined: Apr 22, Posts: Profile Page.

Loctite brand high-temp silicone works really good. Never had a leak with it and is fairly easy to remove with a razor blade. You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content.
