400 cylinder head & intake issue
Hey gearheads, the left side intake passageway for the #3 cylinder gets so hot the paint discolors on the intake. The intake is an Edelbrock performer RPM with an air gap. I was told this happens because the cyl head exhaust ports "cross over" each other at #3 and #5. Does this make any sense to anyone? I realize painting the intake holds in more heat. If I had't painted the intake I may have never noticed the dicoloration. Thanks for your input. Happy New Year all.

To Racerhog, I assume the prof engine rebuilder used the delete gasket, I'll have to ask him.
After taking a closer look, the other side of the intake is also discolored but slightly. Hard to tell without a lead light on it. Guess theres really nothing to be concerned about. Thanks for your 2 cents its worth a lot more.
