Front intake seal is leaking, now I am TRYING to get the intake bolts out. The heads are rusted and will not budge. Been soaking them in PB Blaster everyday will try them again Wednesday evening, it will be the first time I have this week.

His update...Front intake seal is leaking, now I am TRYING to get the intake bolts out. The heads are rusted and will not budge. Been soaking them in PB Blaster everyday will try them again Wednesday evening, it will be the first time I have this week.

My response in an earlier post.

"Yes if he had to pull the chock all the way out to make it run he is way lean. Pulling the chock out makes it way rich. Sounds like too much air from the manifold seals."
