I am going to be replacing the intake gasket on my sons 90 tbi 350.
When the gasket goes on, what do you guys use to keep it in place? We just did this job and that's when this reared it ugly head. So this says something got messed up.
I have a feeling the gasket shifted or is otherwise leaking.
This is the issues...
1- slow to start
2- when it starts, races at about 1300 rpm or so.
3- coolant gurgling
4- cylinder 5 and 7 no firing, mostly 7.
5- attempt to drive, it stalls...runs like crap.
6- smells like antifreeze out tailpipe.
Neighbor came down, looked at it, says head gasket. Was not a issue until this was all fixed.
The main question though, is.. What did you guy who have done this used to hold the gasket in place? Do you have to seal these gaskets with sealant or anything, or just put them on?
Thanks
Shawn
