Re: [Amc-list] intake question

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Steve,

Blocking off the exhaust crossover passage will cause cold driveability 
problems. I also don't understand how this will solve an overheating 
problem. There are lots of other places more likely to cause overheating 
than the exhaust crossover passage.

Any suggestions on the "R and R and block off" parts of the procedure?  I've used a Permatex product to seal off the thermostat housing (with gasket, of course) and was wondering if I ought to use a similar product for the intake gasket.
