When to tighten intake manifold bolts on 98 Chevy 350 vortex?
At what torque must the Intake Manifold Bolts be tightened to on a 98 Chevy 350 Vortex Two years post replacement the manifold seems to be leaking again?
What are the gaskets on the intake manifold made of?
They can be made of paper, rubber, metal, and sometimes a combination of the three. The intake manifold gaskets are responsible for sealing the intake manifold against the cylinder head(s). Apart from sealing engine vacuum, certain designs will also seal engine coolant.
Can a bad intake manifold cause a coolant leak?
Coolant leaks. Another symptom of a faulty intake manifold gasket is coolant leaks. Some intake manifold gaskets also seal engine coolant, and if the gasket wears out it may lead to a coolant leak.
What should the intake manifold torque be on a GM Vortec?
I found this from the RHS site: it states the intake manifold torque is 35ft/lbs. I’m going to be using the updated GM vortec manifold gaskets, so I’m wondering if I should torque to 11 like the stock vortec setup is, or to 35 like the RHS spec sheet says.

What are the symptoms of intake manifold problems?
1. Engine misfires and decrease in power, acceleration, and fuel economy. One of the most common symptoms of an issue with intake manifold gaskets is engine performance issues.
What are the gaskets on an engine called?
The intake manifold gaskets are some of the most important gaskets found on an engine. Gaskets are the seals placed between engine components before they are assembled in order to provide a reliable seal.
