Default Have you ever heard this noise in an engine after a VCG repair?

Are you looking for a vacuum leak or a positive air pressure leak?

The former may be determined using propane. The engine will rev higher when it sucks propane into a vacuum leak. Connect a fine flexible hose to your propane torch on a low setting.

The latter may be tested with Magician's Smoke in a Can.
