Hey I've had a "mechanic install upper and lower intake on my 89 5.0 and I noticed he sealed this off with rtv. This is the second attempt and I feel there is going to be a 3rd go at it.. what are the potential problems if any with this being gone around completely with rtv? Thanks in advance
This is the back of the block under the lower intake. I'm unsure of what this is.. he told me it was a frost plug but I am hesitant to take his word on it as he missed so many important steps the first time and I had to supervise the second time aroundOh, and I don't know what that image is for. Can you clarify?
Yes but not on the back china wall only rtvDid he use gaskets?
Okay just making sure he didn't seem to know what he was doing for the most part... Thanks for the info i really appreciate it.That is a plug for an oil galley.
It is not used once the block was finished being machined.
Sometimes that plug can seep oil.
I see no reason why you should not seal it with a RTV sealer.
It just insures that you don't have a potential leak down the road.
