Default Re: 292 vacuum leak

So my parts were ordered with Murmmet Machining around 10:00 and parts were received next day by 4:00. Super fast getting them shipped out!! Thanks John! Saturday was spent at Gene Winfield's open house, so this morning was tear down day. So, I'm amazed to find what I did after carefully removing the intake.......I can't believe it ran as well as it did!! So I really have no way of knowing if the intake had been removed and or installed by the previous owner, or if this was done by the original builder. I would like to believe it wasn't, but who knows. Sure hope it did not do any damage by running so lean.

Exclamation Re: 292 vacuum leak

Do you think when you pulled the intake that the intake pulled the gasket?

I'm sure they didn't move as they were stuck solid against the heads and took some effort to scrape off.

Yup, feeling great!!!Just finished running it since the repair along with a good test drive!! Running as it should!! I do appreciate the input from you all, your advice was all well noted. So it looked like my valley pan was properly sealed before, But I do like the addition of the new Murmment pan!!
