How to install SBC intake manifold, part of my 1980 C10 restoration
Todays video I’m installing my Edelbrock Intake Manifold for my 1980 c10 small block chevy motor. This is an installation of the intake outside of the engine bay. This is the fourth video for the restoration of my 1980 C10 truck many more to come so make sure you subscribe to the channel for future videos

I use no silicone on the intake gaskets. Only for the end rails.

With that much silicone, when you tighten down the bolts, it will squeeze in some of that towards the inside of the intake and exhaust side and may affect your performance due to being in the way of air flow. Just sayin.🤷🏼‍♂️

Im new to working on my cars so the way you slowly explain it in plain english is helpful Nice vid 👍

***UPDATE*** Do Not make my mistake. After chasing no oil pressure on a fresh 355. We pulled oil pump Melling HV55 to inspect. Nothing wrong. I told my son to check bottom of pan for maybe we forgot a rag or something. He comes up with Timing gear teeth. Pulled mains /looked good/ pulled t-cover only to find half the teeth missing on lower gear. Culprit was 2 cam galley plugs pushed out of the front of block got caught in middle of dbl roller and granaided sprocket. For the love of god please taps those cam 1/4 pipe plugs. Especially when using a HV pump. Lesson learned. Now i have to put the puzzle together and find all the teeth.

Just a FYI bolt tightening sequence is usually from the center out never from the ends in.

it only because you are essentially creating a gap between the intake gaskets and the heads, i did that shit for 13 years i recommend that you use a finger and just dab it on there. if you have a little of pitting in the head it will help fill in gaps but other than that it is really not needed. hopefully everything worked out.

Solid video man. I think the RTV will cure and shouldn’t be an issue.

Thanks man, I agree I don’t really see how cured RTV can magically start plugging holes but I guess I’ll post my truck running soon

I’m going to do it just like you did but not with near as much silicone you used and I’m gonna torque from center out. Good video man.

Wayyyyy!!! Too much RTV!!! You gonna end up with rtv in your cylinders and fallimg into the valley clogging up the drain openings and ultimately in you lump screen. It only takes enough to smash flat to the ends of the surfaces.

If that’s felpro printoseal then the RTV will cause leaks and issues overtime. The printoseal gaskets require zero RTV. -Mechanic of +20 years

WHAT PART NUMBER FELPRO GASKET

@ChrisEsposito 6 ай бұрын

perfect example of what not too do .. i would not follow this at all... torque from center out and a lot less silicone....

Is that for a 4 barrel Harley ?

No it’s actually for a two barrel harley davidson motorcycle.🤦🏻‍♂️

wwwwwaaaayyy tttttoooo much rtv

@oxthreefifty708 Жыл бұрын

You are completely correct, I heard so many people intakes leaking afterwards that I went overboard with it

@RoddyDa Жыл бұрын

Only needed silicone around the coolant ports …and just a thin film. Way too much squeeze out!

@ericmesi1764 Жыл бұрын

It has been said that RTV is eaten away byt gas and oil, Using RTV Silicon can turn to rubber causing a leak, please send me comments I am doing a GM now.

@bass4life294 6 ай бұрын

Never use RTV on Intake gaskets. It will cause premature leaks and failure. Some numb nuts did that on headgaskets and I had to fix it myself... even though it’s years later RTV isn’t permanent.

You do the pattern exactly backwards!!! Inside bolts 1st!!!

@daviddickinson6346 11 ай бұрын

Way too much sealer , that will be obstructing your inlet flow, only use around water jackets and wrong torque sequence, dont do it like this guys.

@johnnymedd3899 11 ай бұрын

Anybody reading this this is a perfect example of how not to do it. The amount of silicone is massively too much. Also torque centre out in a spiral pattern, never opposite corners

@oxthreefifty708 11 ай бұрын

You are correct about the torque sequence being incorrect, but for everybody that is worried about the amount of silicone the intake manifold has zero leaks. So I still believe this is a very good example I will post the truck running soon

@johnnymedd3899 11 ай бұрын

Just because it's running with no leaks it doesn't mean it's right. You have big blobs of silicone risking being sucked into the cylinders

@user-yh6sd4bt7c 7 ай бұрын

@@johnnymedd3899 Your point is valid but they wont be sucked into the cylinders. If the excessive rtv breaks off it'll go into the pan and can get stick on the pickup screen of the oil pump and depending on how much is there could plug up the pickup screen. I agree he uses a little to much.

@johnnymedd9698 7 ай бұрын

@@user-yh6sd4bt7c sorry no, it definitely 100% can get into the cylinder. The light grey sealer he's using around the intake ports couldn't go anywhere other than into the heads. Small bits would make it past the valves into the cylinders but larger bits would probably get stuck inside the head. Either way, not good.

@user-yh6sd4bt7c 7 ай бұрын

@@johnnymedd9698 I see what your saying, it could theoretically get threw the valve train but realistically it just gets swept away by the oil and back into the pan or struck in a crevice. Ive personally never seen it go into a cylinder but then again if its small enough to get into the cylinder its also small enough to go back out threw the exhaust valve. Of cource if its ultra gray its good for about 700 deg F not sure what he was using, I guess it could melt in the combustion chamber, maybe? But either way, yes, to much rtv is not a good thing and should be used sparingly and I believe that was what your saying which I agree with as well. Way to much. Even if it doesnt get into the engine and stays on the gaskets and china wall its still a waist and not needed. Thanks for the response either way.

Stopped watching this video after seeing the insane amount of rtv this guy put around the ports. If you like rtv getting into engine coolant and oil passages and causing damage then go ahead and use this video. That is way too much rtv dude and you are not supposed to put it around air intake with that type of gasket.
