When I put my modified intake on, I had decided on not using a gasket, and
only using RTV... well... It prolly woulda worked, except I was anxious
about putting it on.. so I let the RTV sit up for about 5 mins, and put the
belly pan back on... needless to say, I was puttin my F&B TB back on (Dad
tryed it out on the Durango) and I thought it looked a bit oily down
there... got a light... well... in the back there was a nice puddle of oil..
=/ I'm gonna take the intake back off and actually clean up the cuts I
made, and box them plenums... =-)
The funny thing is... I put synthetic in before I did this... and I'm still
only 1/4 down from the full mark... (2 months now, or 3kish miles)
I guess the engine likes the Moble1 =)
