RE: [Chevelle-List] Intake manifold gasket sealant suggestions

I've always used the rubber end seals (or cork in some sets) and just a dab of silicone where the intake sides slide in.  Big blocks, small blocks, no difference.  Nothing on the two intake/head gaskets.  I've never had an intake leak.  If you set the intake DOWN straight and don't wiggle it around, it shouldn't leak at the front or rear, IMO.  Personally I like the Fel Pro gaskets as well.

I didn't use the rubber seals that were supplied with the felpro intake gasket set. This was on a big block. John L. ACES #5597 70 SS454 ----- Original Message ----- From: K.

What has worked for y’all? Thanks, Kurt ‘64 convt. in resto
