Hi all,

I just discovered that my newly installed (last year) Rockwell AL intake is leaking coolant on the LH aft corner. I am none to happy with the thought of removing the intake and replacing the gasket but I believe that is what needs to be done. I still need to check the torque but I am not too hopeful this will resolve the issue. This corner leaked closer to the top when I first installed the manifold and I increased the torque slightly and the leak stopped.

So I am asking the great minds here for suggestions to better seal this area when I replace the gasket. I am thinking to add Permatex (gray) to this area. The grey permatex is what I used to seal the ends of the manifold as can be seen in the below pic.

Any suggestions are most welcome.
Jon
