>Use a silicon sealant acrossed the front & rear of the block, instead of the included rubber or caulk gasket. If there is a one piece gasket, still put a daub of sealant at the corners where the head/block/manifold come together. >>>>>
Why instead? I use both. I'm not a big silicone-only fan. >Also torque in 2 increments. First time to 20 pounds, then hit 30 on second pass. >>>>>> This is true any time you are torque-ing something that has a lot of bolts & surface area (like heads, x-mans, etc.). >MAKE SURE that you mark the distributor & rotor alignment before removing it. If possible, rotate motor to Top dead center (timing marks aligned) so you know exactly where it is >>>>>> If it's not possible, you have bigger problems than an intake gasket. Always do this.
