I got rusty 2.0 back togther and had a pretty good vacuum leak.
Using the ether method i found it was leaking on the front two bolts of the upper plenium.
Pulled it apart and realized the gasket wasnt lining up right...like it was manufactured wrong. The bolt hole was a good 1/4 in-1/2 in off and it sat crooked.
I didnt notice it till i pulled it back apart....but is this a known issue with them? Or is it just a fluke thing?
I ordered another set, im gonna take the upper plenium with me and make sure they work before leaving the store.
