Tried 3 times (3sets of gaskets) and car still wont even stay running. have to keep on the throttle for it to stay running and it seems like it is running really bad.
used guide studs for both upper and lower, no rtv under rubber rails. dabs at corners where heads, manifold and block conjoin. used a smear of blue rtv around coolant ports.
upper and lower were from a 97 mountaineer, purchased a trick-flow elbow, made sure all vacuum lines were connected but still no luck. im in the process of putting stock manni back on.
Gaskets used were for a 97 mountaineer. seemed to me that there was a major vacuum leak. did have the dizzy in 180* off at first but reconciled that. any ideas greatly appreciated.
Car ran great after I installed 4.10 gears but just wanted more power.
