I tried to install the same on my 350 and the power steering bracket hits everything i don’t know how he installed this my hits the intake and valve covers

You trippin this is fiya

Hell yes show Us !!!! ???????

I thought I mentioned it in the vid, but the belt is for a 2001 V6 4.3 Chevy Blazer

1998-2000 V6 or V8 gm vortex motors. All accessories in this video came from a 2000 V6 Blazer

I have not tapped it yet but, don’t be like me lol. Go ahead and do it the right way and tap and plug it. Also you can drill a second hole into the head it’s a little sketchy but it’s possible.

I honestly don’t know, because I believe those engine accessory brackets were only on the Chevy SUV’s and trucks

No problem 👍

Drilling the head is an option but a risky one especially if you don’t know what you’re doing

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

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

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

@@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.

@@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.

@@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.

I’m going to post it soon, but with the truck running and after driving it the hole didn’t leak but I know I need to plug it so I will. But the truck hasn’t overheated while running but I’ll keep in mind about the thermostat for future reference

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

Exactly. And I normally block those off to eliminate heat soak

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

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

Lol I had to do a voiceover, the garage fans were too loud. I too find my voice very boring thanks for the honest input.

_Laiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid back..._
