Super G intake seals???

[bdmridgeback]

I can't believe how much problems BDM has with intake leaks! Both my Ridgebacks have had at least 2 sets of seals each put in them.

I went to the shop this week to get seals to do this myself this time. Got it all tore down and the seals I took out were much thicker than the seals the bdm service shop gave me. They said the seals were S&S seals, not knock offs. But I take it that the BDM seals are thicker to take up for the taller cylinder height which in turn means a wider span for the intake? Any input?

They seem to not know, but I took the seals back and got some "BDM" seals that are thick ones.
Any good pointers on a permanant fix for this?

Could you use some kind of sealent with the bdm intake seals that wont hurt the rubber? 05chop

A thin bead of high temp RTV could just be the fix you're looking for, it could'nt hurt anything!

Do you have the plates in there?

Plates are gone. Took them out at the dealer before I picked it up!

Those Drag Specialties seals sound like the ticket. They are not in my 2006 book.
I'll look online.

Sul, you have a part number on hand?

I don't see any blue ones in the Drag Fat Book online.

You were suppose to replace the restrictor plates with the spacer plates to fill the gap. Or buy a regular S&S manifold that is the proper size!
