That makes sense to me, as well as cleaning the area with carb cleaner before applying the RTV. Will carb cleaner or brake cleaner damage the RTV? Tom -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bill Lessenberry Sent: Saturday, August 02, 2003 2:42 PM

RE: [Chevelle-list] Re: [Chevelle-list]Leaky Intake

Thanks for the tip. But I have a question. Since there is (presumably) oil coming out the leak is there enough vacuum to really help pull the RTV in? Tom -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 10:05

RE: [Chevelle-list] blown head gasket: UPDATE

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 Tomlinson 71 Malibu 350 -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL
