Leaking intake gaskets

[MaSnaka]

I used the cork gasket on the ends. But I glued it in place with a thin coat of the black Right Stuff and let it sit over night. Also dabbed it into the corners where the intake gasket and the end gaskets meet. Then with the Right Stuff again I glued the intake down on top of the cork. Just a thick enough bead to get squeezed out. I also used brake clean for a final cleansing before applying anything. It's important to make sure the distributer lines up before anything dries in case you need to move the intake to align it.

yes, I used a punch.

I do it the same way David explained it. I let it sit for 15 minutes or more before I install the intake. Test fit the intake to see had much gap you have. When you apply the silcone make it 1/8" more than the gap. You don't want to much but enough to seal. A chuck of silcone working it way to the oil plump is not good.

I use gray silcone because it matches the intake color.

I like a few more hours to finish installing my KC heads and cam. Plus an intake, valve covers, side pipes, fan, fuel rails, throttle body and other stuff I forgot about. It started with bad valve guides last summer and I replaced the whole top end of my motor. There has to be something wrong with me.
Long winter and now it time to drive.
