After getting the lower intake manifold all installed, I went back and watched a how to video. I noticed they used a small amount of RTV on the face of the gasket around the water jacket, and another video they did not. Am I going to have a leaky gasket now because I didn't add RTV around the face of the water jacket?

What brand and type of gaskets did you use? I recently watched a Fel Pro gasket video where they explicity say NOT to use ANY sealants on their gaskets?
