Vic Jr Intake Leak.... Im having some problems with my Vic Jr and an intake leak.... I used the Felpro Gaskets and torqued down in sequence.... I believe 14ftlbs... The car ran flawless the first time out but now developed an intake leak... Spraying some carb spray around the intake has verified it. I tight the intake down farther without torque wrench but still in sequence (Probly about 18-20 ft lbs now) ad the intake leak was gone for about 2 passes down the track but has started leaking yet again.
Has anyone else had these issues??
I purchased the intake BNIB from Jegs back in January of this year....

Either way mine is much tighter than torque spec in an attempt to get it to seal at the track... I think I'm going to switch to the Felpro Composite like gasket. The standard GM OEM oring type gaskets isnt working..

Maybe the intake cracked along the o-ring hole like some of the early model ones did because it was too thin in that area. Overtightening wasn't the answer, the o-ring should be much thicker than the groove in the intake regardless for a good seal.

so after a few more tries at starting I found there's no fuel pressure.
on ignition the pump primes but at cranking there's nothing.
I have power to injectors and sensors but I feel like the pcm is missing something, power, ground
just trying to figure out what could cause it to not fire.
pump can be enabled manually with hp tuners but still doesn't fire so pcm is definitely not doing what it should all of a sudden
