The Edelbrock Air-Gap intakes will require a longer warm-up. In cold weather this can lead to driveability problems, almost like a tunnel ram. The air/fuel mixture- if tuned for a fully warmed up engine- will be lean until the engine is up to temp. This can be compensated for by the choke, but if using the choke, spirited driving is out until the choke is fully open. | The Edelbrock Air-Gap intakes will require a longer warm-up.

| + | Generally speaking, using RTV on intake gaskets acts as a lubricant until it's set up; using it alone can let the gaskets slip out of position when tightened. Most gasket makers caution against using RTV, especially on the side of the gasket that has an RTV bead applied at the time of manufacture. Instead of using RTV over the entire gasket surface, use weatherstripping cement or Gasgacinch on one side of the gasket to hold the gasket in place. Nothing is used on the other side. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{Note1}}A light application of RTV (following the directions for skim time) around the water crossovers can be used in conjunction with the cement. | ||
| + | |||
| + | RTV should be used on the ends of a Chevy intake instead of the cork or rubber seals supplied with many gasket sets. Apply a 1/4" thick bead of RTV across the seal surface at each end of the block. If using an O2 sensor be sure to use sensor safe RTV. | ||
