UPDATE! I’m stupid
so I put the intake manifold gasket on backwards! It fits both ways but does not seal a major vacuum leak when on upside down so would not shut off! See pics. Hopefully this will save someone else from this mistake. Notice the marks on the gasket on the corner where it did not seal fully when on backwards.. the two others show it on correct and the way I had it wrong and it’s obvious now looking at it now. Ended up being a $30 and 2 hr mistake on my part but new gasket In and all is running like a top.
Does anyone know where to get these? I tried cruiser outfitters but they said email tec as it did not show up on availability. They are the 2 gaskets that go above and below the intake grid heater. I just finished my head gasket and it runs great just won’t shut off with key.. chasing a vacuum leak as the shut down butterfly is engaging and closing with the key but motor idle drops to 2-300 and keeps running til I pull manual fuel shut off. Vsv is working and closes butterfly completely.. new intake manifold gasket and bolts tight. When you turn key off it drops idle and you can hear a vacuum hiss sound so it’s getting air from somewhere. No where for it to get air in that part of the motor unless it’s the glow screen area or vacuum hose below intake that connects to the injection pump. Any other ideas
