Need serious opinions/help with PI intake gasget/swap stuff. please read!

[kovacs22]

Ok heres the deal, i did the PI intake swap over a year ago and used the PI gasgets and RTVed everywhere i shouldnt have on that Pi gagsget, i RTVed all the intake parts on the valley side, which is what your supposed to do with the NPI gasgets i belive...anyway i took the car apart this winter for repairs and mods and im putting it back together and need to know WHAT IS THE SAFEST/ BEST bet for which gasgets and method i use? everyone says use the NPI because it seals the coolant passges, then everyone says use the PI with minimal RTV around the intake ports. i did noticed after looking at my motor that i probably had a minor coolant leak from my gasgets.

BTW, i will be funning a nitrous wet kit 50-100 shot this spring.


PLEASE PLEASE help me out, i need as much info as possible so i can pick uo the gasgets tomarow and get them on the car..

thank you,
Ryan

These were some pics posted a little while back by TGJ

This cyl head is a svo head but it has the same ports so it will not be a problem.

First picture shows the PI gasket on the NPI head.

Second picture is a close up of the coolant port that needs to be sealed.
