I just pulled the intake manifold off, I want to block the exhaust crossover and make sure I didn't have a vacuum leak which it looks like there was at least 1 and both crossover ports were leaking into the valley so I think it's a good thing I didn't put it off any longer. I'm going to order the gasket set from Applied with the block off plates.
I read that with the block off plates in you don't need the turkey tray, is this correct? mine's in pretty bad shape, I bent it taking it off. Intake manifold looks good no signs of cracking, I'll get it tanked to clean it up and then give it a final inspection. Probably pull the valve covers for a paint job and re seal and if time allows do the exhaust manifold gaskets while I'm in there.
Is there anything I should be doing at the same time while I have it apart? Suggestions on a good brand of valve cover gaskets and exhaust manifold gaskets?
Thanks
