Fel-Pro intake gaskets

ok, i'll argue with some of that ;)
i've never used anything on the head or intake side except a very thin layer of RTV at the water passages, no problems.

end gaskets: it's difficult with a cast iron intake to drop that sucker straight down with the engine in a car without a little fore/aft movment. i don't care how you do it or how many people you have. when that happens with no end gasket you have a good chance of wiping off the very large bead of RTV.

why worry about re-using the gaskets in a street car? and yes, they shouldn't need sealer added, but it sucks when they start weeping oil

installation: if you have a helper AND a hoist, it's MUCH easier

good luck,
and where the heck are the pics ?? :)

p.s. a razor blade works great for cleaning of surfaces
