The area indicated is where the top & bottom halves of the "common chamber", or intake plenum seal together. (or not)Originally Posted by etlsport
ill try the carb cleaner at work tomorrow.. heres a pic of the area in question.. you can see where i rubbed my thumb, it came right off... but is that where the intake manifold gasket is? are those buildups an indication of a leak?
The intake gaskets are located at the very bottom of the common chamber, between the intake & the heads.
Check out some of the pics & descriptions in Wormgods S/C tutorial for clarification...
You can clearly see the intake ports in the heads in the first pic, this is where the intake gaskets reside.
