97 M2 was carb farting when cold and once in a while when going down the road. Installed new manifold seals and not a single fart! At the suggestion of a board member I did lubricate the seals with sil-glyde. Next time I pull the manifold I'm going to throw the allen bolts in the trash and replace then with 12 point bolts. For anyone who didn't know it, sil-glyde is available at auto-zone for $1.25. It's what they sell as brake lubricant in small packages by the cash register. |

Up-dated to hex head bolts years ago so that "i" could safety wire them ... Thanks for the "INFO" on SIL-GLYDE ... |

The allen bolts are also a PITA to get tight even with the magical intake bolt tool. Hex head are better for no other reason than you can actually get a wrench on them. |

If I have time in the morning I'll be near CAT and will pick up a set to have for the next time. |
