Hey all,
When I disassembled my intake manifold, the pipe of agony already seemed kinda loose in the mixture unit and came out with a rattle. I later found the brass securing ring and the o-ring in the valley absolutely slathered with Permatex gasket sealer.
The pipe itself was caked in it as well - I guess by the P.O. ?
Anyway, I cleaned everything up, careful with plastic scrapers so as not to score the pipe itself, and removed all of the Permatex.
When reassembling, I was told to prep the o-ring with grease. Any particular kind? Or should I use Permatex again? (Frankly it looked like a hack job mess when I removed it.)
Thanks,
RUNDMC
