Intake manifold heat?

art leong · 05-29-2010, 01:19 PM

I bought a teflon insulator for my intake manifold It is supposed to decrease the transfer of heat to the intake. But it seems to be the opposite the runners are getting hot quicker than before. This is a dry intake no water goes thru it.
I'm not using any gaskets just the teflon spacer. And the car idles fine. So I doubt there is a vacuum leak.
I just bought a heat gun, so if there are no suggestions, I'm going to pull the spacer out and take the temp without it.
