anybody in the South Shore area want to help with a head install?TenaciousZ 03-12-2004, 02:55 PM In about two weeks (weather pending) i'll be throwing a set of ported lt1's on my Z. I've never done a head swap and I have two guys from work who said they'd help, but have not much experience. If anyone local is interested in assisting that would be ...great :cool: bowtiepwr 03-12-2004, 08:38 PM >When you change your heads out ensure that you use some copper RTV when you reseal your intake and make sure that it cures before you install the intake .

Never heard of anyone using copper RTV before for intakes. Permatex Grey seems to be the best that I have found for intakes IMO. super83Z 03-13-2004, 08:29 PM Where abouts do you live?

Maybe it helps when the EGR feed tube is still hooked up, bringing a lot of heat to the back of the intake. I think that's what caused the whole intake problem in the first place. Ditch the EGR tube, all set. Most of your silicones today are O2 sensor-safe. | ||
