I was able to remove my intake today. I'm in the process of reinstalling it with the silicone. When I got the intake off, I noticed an oily substance all over both intake/head ports and also collecting in the closed #6 cyl intake valve. It is a dark brownish substance that smells like a mix of fuel and oil. I would guess bad valve seals leaking oil into the air/fuel mix-but there is no trace of it dripping down and it is all of my ports with this fluid on/in them not just one. Also, I had seepage of oil running down underneath the intake-coming from a broken VC gasket. I will put a new gasket in after I submit this, wondering if this could cause a low vacuum also? -----Dani B. #5003 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
