I have a bad leak from my lower intake gaskets. I found this number on the intake: rf-f87e-9k461-ba. I need help finding the right gaskets for it. I have aluminum heads but i don’t know what brand or kind they are. I believe i have a gt40 intake but not sure. Can anyone help?
I would suggest that you do [not] use the cork or rubber end pieces of the lower intake gasket. Eliminate those and use a bead of your favorite black RTV. I prefer this:
Replace cut gaskets in one minute. Install parts immediately. OEM-approved. Oil and coolant resistant.

With aluminum heads, there is always a small gap between the engine deck surface and the bottom of the heads. It is just outboard, on each side, of where the cork gaskets [would] go if you used them. You [must] ensure you visually ID this gap and fill it with RTV when you run the bead along the front and back. [This] is likely where your current leak is.

Hello guys, I was wondering if you guys new what resources i could use to help me correctly identify a lower intake. They say its from a 95 cobra but I'm not sure and have no way to tell the difference. the casting number is RF-F87E-8K461-BB. Is there a manual that has casting number information...
