I read in i think car craft that some chevies have a problem like this,
yeah I know surprise, but anywahy they said that the cure was to take a
small nail punch and put small dings in the center of the gasket surface on
both the block and the manifold, but as I am sure you know the intake is
aluminum so you have to be very careful not to hit it to hard... I am
pretty sure this is all they said, can't remember and i already starting
moving back home so the magazine is there, anyone else read this...?
