You have 'print-o-seal' gaskets, they shouldn't need any sealant.
If you're REALLY worried about coolant leaks you might smear a THIN film of Ultra Black or some other kind of silicone around the water ports on both the head and intake. The most important thing is to torque in steps following the recommended pattern. Leaks are caused by uneven tightening. I just got the torque pattern for my Stealth intake off of Summit's site, so I should be good to go there. |
I don't know anything about #2 except it is non-hardening and resistant to oil & gas.
When I'm trying to seal water or coolant I use silicone. |

Hey Collin. It looks like everything is coming along well. I'm glad to see that your getting some help and making some good progress. I can't wait to see it all together and finished, should be sweet.:-jammin

Yeah, it's coming along okay, but I've run into a lot of issues... It'll all get together though.

I wunna know what kinda mpg you get. I want to put a cummins or 7.3 in my but the power,sound, and cheapness(compared to a diesel) is awesome. That and I'm sure it won't break as many zf's...

Yeah I've noticed that, but you seem to be working through those issues pretty well. So I'm sure you'll get it all figured out and good to go.:-X22
With everything I've run into is just feels like I'm always getting knocked into the ditch every time I start making progress. Just how it goes. Hopefully after I replace this intake manifold gasket and set the timing (again...) I'll be good to go. |
Tat 12 mpg is pretty dang impressive with a 460 and of all trans a C6. My friend has(had?) a 97 CCLB f350 4x4 with 35s and a 2"ish lift with an e4od and I think 4.10s, he said it gets 9mpg when he drives it good, 9 mpg when his girlfriend drives, and 9mpg when he floors it. Of course it has like 228,000 miles?

I'm betting on like 7-8 mpg with this engine I'm working with now. I'll tell you after I get it up and going. |
A performance 460 that's running with no overdrive (as a c6) with 37s and is carbeurated is not going to get good gas mileage lol. I hope my truck gets atleast 12 with 4.10s, efi and a just rebuilt tranny.

I'll probably buy a ranger or an f150 with a 300/stick/3.08s for MPG fairly soon. The 460 will be purely for play and maybe a heavy load here and there. |
I want to buy a nice running rcsb 300/5speed 4x4 for mileage after I'm out of school or if I start all the sudden actually making money(known as a JOB[which I don't have a real one yet]). I also want a set of 37" militaries for mine and eventually the 38" XMLs.
What else do you have planned for your beast? |
