new intake
where should i put silicone sealant on my new streetmaster intake and what is the best way to install it with the water pump still attached to the block because there is the small hose that connects the intake to the water pump.

Just use a little around the water ports, and definately the end seals.
As far as the bypass hose, its better to take the water pump off, rather than try to maneuver the intake around and line up the bypass hose at the same time.

If the intake is aluminum then it's light enough to maneuver around the water pump. My .02. Slide the little hose on while you are holding the rear of the intake up, then lower it onto the engine. But pulling the water pump takes, what, 5 minutes? I've done it both ways.
