Do the bolts that hold the rear engine lifting bracket on the head go through the intake housing and do they need thread sealer on them?Reason I ask is I just installed the scheid 100 hp injectors and was test driving and looking for leaks and when I spray things down with brake cleaner It is pulling it into the intake when I spray around the # 5-6 injector line/lifting bracket area.Intake cover and manifold area are ok but it is the area behind it that causes it to start sputtering when I hit it with brake cleaner, only thing I could think is if it was following the lifting braket bolts into the intake?Any ideas?

I'm going to guess you might have a manifold gasket leak...I don't think the hoist bolt hole is open to the manifold... Because don't a lot of people just throw the hoist ring?

My 01 is soild, and I threw it away. Now you got me wondering. I will spray right now. Be right back.

Went and took the bolt out of mine and it's straight through, not part of the intake. Not the same as a 24V I suppose but the intakes end in the same spot :shrug:

Well shoot, I guess now I need to replace the gasket for the intake cover.:banghead:Now that I got it all back together.:banghead:

Verify it with a boost tester... :shrug:

I figure If it can pull brake cleaner in it will leak pressure out.
