Twin Turbo Escalade Runs Again! The LSXcalade 427 2.0 FIRED UP!! (Final Assembly & Problems)

What happens here

Begin by fitting O-rings into the dovetail channels of the intake manifold. These channels are designed to hold the O-rings securely, preventing them from falling out during installation. Next, install the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose connection. It is critical to install this hose before the intake manifold is fully in place, as it may become inaccessible afterward. Once these are ready, carefully lower the intake manifold assembly onto the engine. Afterward, connect all injector plugs. This step can be challenging in confined spaces, especially for individuals with larger hands, so patience and careful manipulation are required.

Goal: Mount intake manifold, ensuring proper sealing and injector connections.

Tools and materials

  • Intake Manifold Holley — Engine component for air intake
  • O-Rings — Sealing the intake manifold
