5Liter Import Eater

I bought and installed a new bbk 65mm t/b with spacer. i torqued the t/b to the specified torque but i noticed orange liquid comin out where the t/b and spacer meet, right where the seal is. so i tightened it more and still the same problem. i dont see it leaking but i wipe up the dried up liquid and i check it like a week later and its all there again. its all around the seal of the t/b and spacer. what should i do? torque it more? its already past what it said to torque it too but i can tighten it more its not all the way tight.
please reply!!!

did you replace the gasket when you put the new tb on? cause it seems like that jus cuz its leaking all the way around. and perhaps is your antifreeze orange becuase i think thats what would be leaking from there.

you need to put new gaskets on

put new gaskets and and put a lil copper tube between the 2 hose to bypass the spacer as you don't need to heat up the incoming air in the summer

The new t/b came with new gastkets that i used

sounds like you didnt get a tight seal

i think i have to torque it a lot more than it says. i already torqued it way past what it said to but it still feels like it needs to be tighter so i think i should try that, i just wanted to know if i over torque it if that will hurt anything?

then put it off and look to see if the gasket has a cut then when you reinstall put a very light bead of rv sealant just a really lite skin on the gaskets

i use ultra black gasket maker and it will seal that up for you
