Played with Mopar's most of my time wrenching and am looking for any advice to intake gasket replacement.
The intake on our 68' 289 is a Edelbrock Performer aluminum manifold.
*Do the bolts need RTV/Sealant?
*What is the torque spec for an aluminum manifold?
*Should any RTV be applied to the manifold gasket itself?
*End seals, is it common on Fords to use endseal gaskets, or just a bead of RTV?
Also have some other 289 questions to add instead of starting a new thread.
- Setting valve lash, does anyone have the cylinder order to set the valves to?
- What should the lash specification be set to? Feeler gauge between rocker/valve stem?
Thanks!
