I took of the hoses on the left side and they seemed fine so I put them back on and put clamps on. They did not have clamps. I re-did the 2 other vacuum hoses next to them too.

Does anyone know the torque to the bolts for the manifold to head?

There�s no leaks now but the van it still not �right�.

Thanks,
Bryan

Subject: Re: Leaking plenum hose

Split length of fuel rated hose, cut a 45� edge at each end of split,
black RTV at the 45� overlap? Or is there too much risk of excess RTV
getting sucked into intake?

Too bad one couldn't remove the plenum and do the job that way. I
doubt even silicone hose would allow enough leeway to do the job that
way.

If all 4 intake runner hoses are the same age, others will follow.
