Water neck question
looking for a good aluminium water neck for my new intake. I like the ones with the o-ring but some of my friends have had trouble with them sealing but they were the cheap 10 chrome ones. Anyone know any good ones or have any thoughts on the subject?
Thanks

I put a chrome o-ring water neck on my 70 Chevelle, no leaks. Put In a new engine and intake, re-used the water neck still no leaks. I had to take it off for something, when I put the water neck back on I zapped the bolts down with a air rachet(i wasnt thinking) and then it leaked.
Just dont overtighten the bolts and make sure you have clean surfaces and it should seal fine.
