"About two years ago replaced
"About two years ago replaced the risers and elbows on 1988 454s FWC. Last season I pulled one side of one motor to check if clogged s thought had overheat problem. After carefully cleaning off old gasket and reinstalling i noticed a very minor drip, literally 3-6 drops from the bottom of the joint when ran boat, but not every time.
Removed, cleaned and reinstalled this time with sealant mech recommneded, now seems to drip about the same still but also noticing a white drip looking stain around the two top bolts.
Any ideas? Have tried retightening bolts to spec, etc. Should I just replace this riser and elbow and be done with it?"
