I need help with the plastic manifold on my sons friends 97 GT. It cracked and he has purchased a new one we have put it on using silicone, it still leaks. I am an old cast manifold man, I cannot understand plastic. I put a straight edge on the new one and it is not straight. It seems to have a twist to it. Is this common do I increase torque? The lawsuit does not apply here (of course) and I need help to get this out of my shop. Is this a defective manifold should I just send it back or is this a common problem? Please help.
