Corvette 383 Engine Build

The intake manifold base is now bolted in place, then all the retaining bolts are torqued to the correct specification. We use Teflon pipe sealer on all threads that retain the cylinder heads and intake manifold to prevent water and oil leaks out the bolt threads. The same technique of low-bolt torque then final-bolt torque is used when tightening to allow the gaskets to position themselves evenly without tearing. View Related Article
