Huh?? What?? Hang on a sec, Let me get my Enigma box out so i can decode this message...... Ok From what I can tell You spread RTV sealant over a leak on your intake manifold. Thats not going to work, doesn't matter how nice the RTV sealant is. You cant just spread the stuff over a leak you have to put it between the two mating surfaces not IE take the peices apart clean the mating surfaces apply the RTV let skin(harden a little) then reassymble the parts... Thats how it's done in the ghetto. The right way to fix the problem is to buy a new gasket.

you could probably get away with just removing the 7 bolts/nuts that hold it to the motor..You may have to seperate the upper manifold from the lower manifold to get enough room to work. If it's a turbo you may have to remove the turbo as well

then you have to clean the sufaces real good...make sure you dont let any of the crap fall into the motor (the intake runners)

once it is cleaned and free of old gasket, RTV, oil and grease you can put it back together.


Best thing to do is buy a factory workshop manual before doing any work to your car. You can also search

one more thing...I hope your using new seals and o-rings when you put your injectors in. Never reuse the old hard dry crusty ones they would be a prime source for air leaks
