    Re: gonna replace my intake manifold gaskets

    it wasn't running bad at all. I was losing oil, it was getting into my coolant. However, after doing all of this, it runs better. Has better better throttle response and more power. Probably cause I'm not burning coolant anymore lol!

                  very very nice.

                  cleaned up very well.

                  the throttle body was VERY VERY dirty from what i could tell.


                  but you cleaned it and pulled it off well.


                  looks new =]



                  sea foam deep creep hasnt been my favorites.


                  BUT sea foam .

                  the chemical you put through your vac. line. is the SH*T haah


                  ive used it and so far.


                  everything on my top end is CLEANNNNNN =]


                  try it out

                    i just finished up this job and believe it or not, i found a rock- yes a rock- sitting on to of a rocker on for cylinder #1. i noticed it right after i got the valve cover off for the driver side. i definately didnt put it there by accident since the driver side cover is completely sealed off. i was fabergasted, but felt the need to share my story.

                        Was it wedged into the top of the rocker? Or possibly being tossed around occasionally?
