Manifold

MANIFOLD1) Remove all foreign material from the manifold and clean with soap and water to remove any leftover polishing compound. 2) Apply a light coating of gasket sealer to intake gaskets around the intake ports and a bead of silicone around the water ports, then position intake on the heads. *Note: On the Big Block, Chevy uses thin gaskets on standard port location heads and thick (1/8”) gaskets on raised runner heads. 3) Use a bead of silicon on the top of the block to seal to the bottom of the manifold both front and rear. 4) Set the manifold on the heads and torque to 25 ft. lbs. starting from the center working out, alternating from side to side. Repeat final torque 2 to 3 times to insure manifold is seated correctly. 5) Install (8) black aluminum studs into the top of the manifold with a 5/16” hex wrench until the threads bottom out. (Do Not over tighten) 6) Trim the supplied supercharger base gasket to match the bottom of the supercharger case, then set the gasket on the manifold. *Note: Do Not use silicone between the manifold and the blower as it may distort the supercharger case and cause damage.
