Fel-Pro intake gaskets

Forgive me for going astray but I had to know. I did some reading at Ford and Chevy forums for answers. I'll add them here so others dont need to stoop so low LOL
The bare side of the gasket gets bonded to a clean head surface with a thinn coat of adhesive, sealing cement, whatever you wish to call it.
The blue or orange printed port sealer is sufficient for both aluminum and cast iron intakes when properly torqued. Very careful R&R of the intake can allow reusing these gaskets too.
The cork end gaskets have adhesive that will hold them in place on the block rails providing that rail is cleaned residue free ( rubbing alcohol and scotch brite pad works well ). A bead of RTV on the intake rail is added insurance against oil leaks.
We all know that cork is a porus organic material. It can wick oil or water through it or dry rot depending on environment.
Throwing out the cork end seals and applying a continuous 1/4 Inch by 1/4 bead of RTV on the block rails is acceptable, as good, and many will insist better especially if you plan to change the intake since the cork gaskets are not reusable.
One other tip... If you use the cork, retain the locator dowel pins.
When using RTV only remove the pins and clean those holes like all other surfaces. RTV fill in those holes creates a finger that is stronger than RTV around the pins.
