Intake manifold

[dd44068]

Ok so on my 440 the intake manifold bolt leaks, its the rear bolt on the driver side. I tend to find a little bit of oil up there, any suggestions on what to do to resolve this? Thanks in advance Dom

That is a common problem Dom....oil will work it's way up the threads and leak out around the bolt heads.

I use Ultra copper RTV on the threads and let it set up overnight before firing the engine....works everytime.
