thats crazy! i know that doesnt help much but thats all I got after seeing a hole like that.

I bet you find more of those blue valve seal pieces the more you dig.

have you run the motor with the covers off? does anything blow out of the hole?

nice pix

 

it is the valves stem seals. my car did something very similar.. i had those style seals with crane 10308 springs and it ate them up. i replaced them with stock replacement fel pros. its a pain in the *** to do with the engine in the car.

 

btw. that is an oil drain back hole..

 

lmfao ---

 

haha It was a joke man , everybody knows thats an oil drainback hole....

 

Ok I'm working on pulling the Intake Manifold off now, I've got the intake, elbow , tb , throttle cables off. So far I've noticed that the throttle body I just pulled and polished a couple months ago is in the same shape it was before, I'm definately gonna be doing a tb bypass when i put it all back together. So what do I need to do to pull off the intake manifold, I see alot of crap hooked up in the back and I just wanna make sure I dont screw anything up. Whats the next step.

Reduce your picture size before you post them..... its a huge waste of bandwidth, and screws up the appearance of the thread.

 

How do I do that

 

Use photo editing software. Set the width to about 640 pixels.

If this was a "joke", why did you even have to post three pictures?

 

also not to be mean, but if you've never pulled off an intake from a newer V8, I wouldnt recommend starting by yourself. get a friend, and a hayne's, a bunch of plastic cups, and take pics when u remove something. everything goes back how it did when u removed it, the shop manual will be a GREAT help.

 

I think it's the way the picture looks. Picture looks like a torn thin piece of metal but when you actually open it in image shack and blow it up then it's obvious that it's not a "torn hole" in the head.

Also see more blue valve stem seals down there.

 

mmm... carnage.

 

So I guess I just need to replace the valve stem seals and the springs? What parts do you guys recommend for my setup? thanks
