Re: Vortec Intake Oil Leak
Great news. If yur talkin' Infineon remember that except for Aug 5th there is NO Wed night racing in Aug. I can't make it the 5th so my next trip will be Sept 2nd. Hope to see you there. Maybe we can do a "grudge" race. 2 Sy's on the line would be way cool.
They run NHRA rules so 11.50 is it. Quicker and you need bars.
Update: the Sy is fixed and not leaking a drop of anything. I drove it for 45 minutes tonight and it was a great feeling cruising around in the Sy again

Sweet. Great news to hear. Hope she goes well at the track. Just curious how it feels with 15 psi? Does it feel stonger than before when you were pushing the stock motor?
Let me know,

Re: Vortec Intake Oil Leak
I drove it to work today. It feels plain vicious at only 15-16psi. I'm running 100 unleaded with no meth spray at the moment. I need to get in touch with Nolan to finish tuning it for max power. The 80e still needs to be tuned also as the shift points aren't completely dialed in yet. It feels much faster than it used to with the stock motor at 25psi and that slipping 700R4 I had. I was running 11.9s with that setup and it would never do a four wheel burnout across an entire intersection before

Re: Vortec Intake Oil Leak
Right on Don - will try to make it September 2nd. I haven't been up there in ages. A Sy vs. Sy grudge race would be awesome, but I'm pretty sure I'll get kicked out after my first pass LOL. Maybe I'll backpedal the first few runs to gauge what it's capable of first. Will definitely bring the camcorder.

Re: Vortec Intake Oil Leak
That's not what my Hanes manual shows. Regardless of pattern/sequence, I always go slowly and tighten them all down in even increments. It doesn't leak a drop of anything now, so happy to have fixed that problem...what a nightmare having to pull the intake twice for stupid BS mistakes.

Re: Vortec Intake Oil Leak
That's correct. But notice, if you will, that the sequence starts in the middle and works its way to the ends. I've never seen a sequence that didn't do that, head, manifold, whatever. At 35# total a 2 step sequence is what I would use.
And while it's off drill and tap that boss next to #11 for a temp ga. Even if you plug it it'll be there when you need it.:tup:
And yes, nice manifold.
So is this picture right?
BTW, great looking lower intake.
