I did this nearly the same way on a 2001 Chevy 4.8L, blocked the intake just after the air cleaner box with a rubber glove, input the smoke through the Brake boost assist vacuum line. Found the leak in the oil fill spout. It even inflated the glove, so i knew it was pressurizing the intake of the engine! I used Swisher sweets too. Good work!
Thats a lot of messing around to do something simple. Almost any spray can will do, but things that don't make a mess like WD40 even deodorant. With the engine running, spray over the lines and manifold. When you hit the leak the rpm will noticeably change momentarily.
If u could spray in all places. The cigarette/ cigar smoke idea allows even the smallest or furthest (think evap) escape to be detected without explosion, messy fluids that may not react well with plastics or rubber or paint or other. Tobacco smoke is very easy to smell/detect.
@@fastinradfordable so you think something like the tar and other contaminants would only hurt the cylinders? Two morons so far. Go ahead genius use a cigar 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great idea never thought about that enjoyed the video
Great idea!!!
That's pretty fun looking!👍
What do you think about using that same idea on more modern engines?
It should work fine. Concept is the same.
The blunts were part of my GenIII Hemi starter kit! 😂 All i need is the pump. Will report back ...
@@re8672Able to report?
👍👍
After trying this, the engine developed a cough and later went to smoking
What did you do to fix the leak??
It was leaking at the rear of the carb base gasket and at the passenger side intake gasket.
I have good luck using a vacuum cleaner and water with dish soap.

You realize cigars produce contaminants and a sort of gross film right?? Now you have that in your entire engine
You realize the crankcase produces oil vapor that will coat the whole intake?
@@Steevo69 you can't be that stupid
You realize valves open and close only when the engine is spinning right 😂
