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

Title: Message

Well H, I've had problems with some leakage when I've tried using the rubber gaskets supplied with the manifold gasket set. I don't know if is because of the area at the corners where the rubber and gasket material meet in the corners and/or the rubber just does not stay in place very well while trying to mate the intake to the heads. I've just had better luck with the silicone versus the rubber gasket.

I didn't use the rubber seals that were supplied with the felpro intake gasket set. This was on a big block.

Can I ask why John?? Is it because they tend to squirm out sometimes?? or??
