    Thanks for the post, I actually just finished the install! lol I used black RTV, hopefully it doesn't matter blue vs black; it shouldn't they're both resistant to antifreeze. I've also read using RTV around the coolant ports is an "insurance" measure. my blog about my install for anyone...

    Lower Intake gasket install question

    I'm installing a lower intake today for the first time. I'm a little lost as to what I'm supposed to be using for gasket sealer on the bottom side of the gasket where the gasket mates to the heads. Felpro's instructions are vague "use quick drying adhesive" I've also seen it mentioned...
