Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] blown head gasket: UPDATEI've just noticed oil weeping from the back of my new intake. It appears to be coming from the spot where the manifold angles up to the head. It's not bad enough to re-do, but next time I'll be sure to clean that area extra clean and make sure there is enough RTV there. The leak is pretty sneaky; it travels down the crack between the head and the block and ends up on the starter wires. But the back of the block appears clean as a whistle!Tom Tomlinson71 Malibu 350-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] blown head gasket: UPDATELike I said, I've never done this before, so I'm not positive, but from my rookie perspective it looked like there were a couple of bad spots where it was leaking. Also, in response to the other person (I think it was Sarge?) about figuring out which side was bad before I started... I figured I might as well do both while I'm that far into it. I was thinking I'd hate to have to do it again just because I was trying to save some time. Then, I go and goof up the seal on the intake and have to redo that... oh well, live and learn. I'll be sure to apply the black RTV GENEROUSLY this time.Rodney.71 ChevelleEl Mirage, AZ-----Original Message-----was there any indication head gasket was bad?
