To the List, I have a 1.7 liter engine that has developed a nasty intake leak. I have a Weber progressive with the tube intakes. I took the intake that was leaking off, and resealed it. About ten minutes later it started whistling again. What is the best way to seal this type of intake? Should I just use the paper gaskets that come with the gasket set, or the half-inch thick bakelite gasket? Also, while I am on this sealing subject. What is the best way to seal the heat exchangers where they bolt to the heads? I think I may have a leak there too. Thanks, Aaron
