Re: Restoring Rusty - Intake Manifold
I want to point out something to you that I learned
the new aluminum intake manifold is thinner than the old one, at the pint where the bolts go one is 1/16 of an inch thicker if not a bit more
also I am not planning on putting on the bracket back on so I noticed that those bolts were an inch and a quarter and the other ones were inch and an eighth
also some of the bolts don't screw all the way in
the two that surprised me were the bolt above the #4 exhaust port (third bolt in the passenger side head) it interferes with the exhaust push rod
and the bolt above the #5 intake port (fourth bolt in the driver side head) it inteferes with the intake push rod
