86 intake whistle
#31
Haven't done anything.
It's at the shop having the aero-mirrors and rub strips painted.
Should have it back soon.
Gonna check the TPS and a few other things.
Needed a break anyway, it was getting very frustrating.
Mike, I may take you up on that.
I'll let you know.

Maybe the intake leak was so bad, there was not enough of a pressure buildup to send the smoke out the small leaks. We may have the throw the smoke machine back on there if you continue to have issues.
I'll let you know.

It was a vacuum leak.
I ended up running a smoke test on it.
It turned out to be several small leaks from driver side intake gasket.
Had some gaskets special made....the whistle stopped.
Hasn't whistled since....knock wood.

For my issue, the Powdercoating of the intake runners had warped the flanges that mate to the intake ports of the head, so I had to remove the intake & put the runners on a belt sander to re-flatten. One was so bad you could see light under it & it failed the vacuum/smoke test.

I pressurize the intake and listen for the air with a mechanics stethoscope. If it holds pressure for a bit of time then it's good. If not, well ya leaking.
