vortec 5.7 air duct to throttle body seal work around
Rock Auto does not list anything for this application. What I did was go to my hydraulic seal dealer and pick up three Nitrile 3-5/8 OD by 1/8 x 1/8 square seal rings. I super glued them together one atop the other on the throttle body, then RTV'd inside and out of the joint and put it together. I removed the resonator from the adapter to make it easier to place the air duct over the intake. It took quite a bit of force to get the plastic duct over the 3 orings but it went on. What do you know absolutely no leaks. Now to see if it sets new lean condition codes after I delete the old ones. I used H&D Distributing here in Dallas. Their part number for these is 391-2884-019.
My one concern at this point is will I ever be able to get it back apart.
