High Tac with gaskets.

RTV is a no-no and used for LARGE gaps only. (intake)

I've always just put the gaskets on dry and torque to specs like they do at the factory. I've never had one leak and it makes for easier dissassembly also...

Love Ultra Black. Once you try it, you will never go back....


(sorry I couldn't resist)
But that is what I use.

Any of the above mentioned RTVs will do the job but make sure your mating surfaces are flat and clean first.
