    Default Sealing Intake manifold... what should I use?

    Are you guys sick of these questions yet??

    Ok, When I install the Intake onto the motor... should I use a gasket, or red RTV or both?

    THanks in advance

    Default keep em coming....

    Jamie:

    If it will get you to the track, ask away.

    How many races do you need to complete your Novice permit?

    I think you can renew one time before having to go back to a school.

    I'm not the correct person to answer this one, though.

    Rick,

    As they say in NASTYCAR, 1 to go. I should (crossing fingers) get that at the ARRC. Hope to see you there!!!!

    I use the stock Ford intake manifold gasket. Light green in color with white plastic sealing rings. In addition I use a little RTV around the shim stock I use to block the water passage to the intake manifold.

    Does the GCR still require the use of the Ford stock intake manifold gasket.

    I still use it and haven't read that section of the GCR in a while.

    Steve,

    Seriously, you weren't asking me about the GCR?

    Generally Confusing Rules, or is it,
    Generally Confusing Reading?



    Used to be you had to use FOMOCO gaskets, including head gasket.
