In his effort he did a smoke test and said that the intake gaskets were leaking exhaust as well, so I'm going to have him replace those. So here is my question. I have the chance to block off the ehaust ports if I should. My mechanic was questioning doing that. First question is, would I really want to block that port? Would it not cause back pressure on the gasket and possible develop a exhaust leak again with it? And if I plan on going eventually to a TBI system, would the boiling issue go away anyhow? To date I have not experienced anytime of boiling issue with it.
