Been busy with house projects so have not got back to the car yet.
I had a thought this morning that I never considered when re-torquing the Intake. Some of the bolts were looser than others so I did get movement. Are any of these bolts thru bolts that hit coolant and are installed with RTV to seal them?
Just a thought on creating a new problem by moving them and disturbing any cured sealant possibly creating a leak somewhere.
