Vacuum Leak

<HR style="COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1 itxtvisited="1"> <!-- / icon and title --><!-- message --><TABLE width="100%" border=0 itxtvisited="1"><TBODY itxtvisited="1"><TR itxtvisited="1"><TD vAlign=top itxtvisited="1">I have a rebuilt 84 351w, I know the heads have been milled but don't know how much. Now I have a leak on the drivers side between the intake and head. I have replaced the intake gasket and nothing changed. I was wondering if thicker performance gaskets would stop the leak?

It's possible. If you are using the end rubber or cork gaskets, throw them away. Just use a bead of RTV on each end and a good set of Fel-Pro Printoseals. If that doesn't do it, you may need to have a little taken off the bottom of the intake.
