I removed the lower intake up to reseal it and check it out since i had everything else apart.
My brother who works at a mechanic told me the end seals are dumb and just to use a thick bead of silicone for the lower intake. He and this other mechanic claims that they break down with oil,etc and start to leak and that silcone at the ends are a better choice.
Any opinions on this matter?
Also, Is there anyway to look or check the fuel injectors to see if they are working properly, like my car has been running real crappy so I decided a top end rebuild since I needed to fix the brakes anyway.
I'm replacing all gaskets (obviously), plugs, wires, fuel pressure regulator, crank sensor , anything else yuou guys can think of since I have like half the engine apart?
