Vacuum Leaks, Help!
Rebuilt the head, and got everything back together but I have vacuum near the collector of the intake that I can here but can not see.
Is there a hose under the intake where all intake tubes come together that I could have missed? What should I use for intake gasket sealant? (PO had sealant on intake, indicating a problem, maybe?) |

There should be a diagram of your vacuum hoses on a plate in the engine bay - passenger side towards the headlights. Without your year/model in your sig its hard to say anything specific about what goes where.
No sealant for the intake manifold, just the gaskets and 15 ft-lbs. I had a couple vacuum leaks so I tore it all out and ran new lines. Costs about $15 with connectors and a lot easier than chasing ghosts.

Update! Thanks for the input but..... As I had asked "Is there a hose under the intake where all intake tubes come together that I could have missed? " The answer was yes. In my haste to put things back together I forgot the 3/8" hose at the bottom of the collector that connects to the Idle Speed Control. All is back as it should be and the car is running great. I just wanted to add this for informational purposes.
