Default quick gasket question
I realized i have a shitty vaccume leak at the trottle body. All the bolts are tight but at the top of the throttle body you can hear the leak. The gasket is in perfect condition. Should I RTV the top of the trottle body to stop this leak?

something is wrong. old gasket stuck on there? the throttle body warped?



RTV sucks. period. the only thing we ever use here is Wacker silicone, or some great stuff.

im thinking it might be the intake manifold is warped. because this is the second throttle body and its still hissing.

Did you overtighten the bolts and warp the flange?
