Thought I would share some pictures (and a video) of the stages of my latest project.
Manifold Gasket Replacement Album The pictures of the blue bucket with electrodes are the manifolds being de-rusted via electrolysis. After that I cleaned the manifolds with degreaser, followed by acetone, and coated with POR-15 Factory Manifold Gray.
The gasket set, and stud set came from Kanter. All fit perfectly. The only thing missing from the stud/nut set is the thick manifold washers. I couldn't find those anywhere in the Raleigh area, so I used grade 8 washers, doubled up.
What a huge improvement in how the engine runs. I can only assume that the gasket had been leaking vacuum at one or more of the intakes as well.
