I see the sticky on torque specs. I also found this: http://www.grandprixforums.net/f73/3...specs-501.html, but it does not take me anywhere. Is that an old version that was replaced?
I have also seen varying opinions on how to do this: do I need new bolts? Do they need thread sealer? Are GM or FelPro (or other) gaskets preferred? Is there anything else I should do while in there (other than coolant elbows)--such as water pump, timing chain, etc.? Do the gaskets come with the right kind of RTV or do I buy this separate, and how much does it take and how long should it set up before sticking the intake back on? No other sealant other than RTV in the corners, correct? Anything else I should know before tearing into it?
I have also noticed that my temp gauge doesn't really move. I drove for 45 minutes straight today and it was up to the first or second mark from the bottom. I checked it with a scan tool (not today, and I don't remember how long I had driven at the time) and it showed something like 185 degrees. Does this seem like a problem, and could it be related or am I looking at more than one issue?
