Ok. I read that you put some etc around coolant ports. How much? Stumblinhorse, did you do this. Also if you use the cork gaskets on the front and back do you still apply rtv in the corners?
I just used rtv in the corners, no where else and not much. I used hi-tack on both sides of the intake gasket and cork. Stuck all gaskets in place and then put the manifold down and finger tighten the bolts overnight, torque to 35 the next morning.
