Intake Gasket Failure
Say can anyone tell me why the intake gaskets should fail on
my 76 f-150 with 360 . has a aluminum edelbrock performer 390 intake.
it looks like the gasket became pitted and lost surface material . the trouble
surfaced with noticing pressure burp past radiator cap. ( odd noise ) gaskets
were fel-pro . cooling system had creamy crud in it,,, but never lost prestone
or seen any in crankcase . am now replacing head and intake gaskets .
is the aluminum a poor material to use for intake manifold ??
havent seen any cracks in the heads .
i am trying out another brand of gaskets
