ok i have antoher question for ya. I am having a hard time breaking that intake manifold free. I have taken out all of the nuts and bolts that hold it on the block, but it wont budge. I dont want to force anything between the block and the intake .. do you all have any suggestions of what i can do to get it off of there..
i have tried tugging and pulling and she is not coming off..
what do ya think
I don't know if this will help, but I recently tore the 318 down in my Duster for a cam change. The manilod wouldn't budge until I pulled the plugs, then it popped right off.

Take a slim blade putty knife, and a small hammer, and work your way around the intake tapping the putty knife in a little at a time, and moving around the intake to break it loose.
UPDATE:...
ok i got the intake off.. damn guy must have used some good ass rtv gasket on it.. it was the yellow kind..
ok now where do i need to put RTV gasket sealer ( i have the black) .. do i need to put it on both sides of the new gasket or just one side... and how much of it.. i was going to put a thin coating..
also you mentioned something about a tightening order.. What is the order.
"yellow kind.. "
It's called Gorilla Snot.
i have the black rtv.. will that work as well...also please see above postQuote:

*** well i jsut opened the new intake gastket box and it is different than what the guy i had build it put in there. The difference is the new gasket has a metal pan that joins the 2 gaskets together.. the ones i jsut took out are seperate ( meaning there is no metal pan that connect the 2.. is it ok to install the one i just bought ( the ones that have the metal pan that connects the 2..
here is a picture http://www.clubhotrod.com/photopost/...php?photo=6725
one on left: is one i removed
middle is new on with pan ( seems to be all metal even that gaskets)
far right is new one with out pan ( metal and rubber on outside)
what one would you use and should i use rtv black around the the whole seal.. or what would you use to help creat a better seal
i dont think it ever ends..
denny, engine has no cover over it it is in the open and i run it about 150 degrees FQuote:
