I replaced my screaming eagle heavy breather with a V&H V02 intake. My heavy breather did not move when installed.
Now I can move the V02 up and down just like in this video when there is no air cleaner installed.
Is this normal? Anyone know what to tighten. I could not really see a bolt to turn??
How did you resolve this issue? And did you really have a leak?
The exact same thing has happened to me when i removed my original breather. It was really stuck after i'd removed all of the screws. When i finally got it off (i had to pull really hard) part of the gasket was stuck on the throttle body. Once the breather was off i could also move the throttle body and manifold in the same way, up and down like that.
Did you have to get new seals and gaskets and do a complete re-install of the manifold and throttle body?

Thanks!
for the small price of a couple of seals/gaskets yes replace them
