A intake manifold seperate from the block with a valley pan? And why did the engineers decide to incorporate the timing cover with the water pump and attach it at the bottom with the oil pan? I hate to say it but I actually prefer the way a small block chevy has a seperate timing cover from the water pump. The whole valley pan and "air gap" type set up on a Pontiac motor is nice I guess for keeping engine heat away from the intake manifold, right? Any other questions you guys ever ask yourselfs about "why did pontiac do this with their motors?" feel free to post 'em.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
