318 edelbrock intake install ( round two)

It WILL be less expensive in the long run to simply buy another set of gaskets.

Some people use the end gaskets and some people use RTV or other sealer

Make certain you have removed the pins across the front and back if present, and if the intake has no recess holes to accept them

I dislike metal gaskets. If you use them at least use sealer on the front and back holes which are the water ports

If you don't use the cork end gaskets, lay a nice bead front/ rear, sit the intake down carefully, and snug it down, then "finger' a smooth bead along the block/ intake and check carefully there are no gaps. Do NOT be tempted to run the engine until you allow enough time for that to cure
Thanks. I did run across some blue felt feeling gaskets. May use those instead. I made sure to hit those water ports and will make sure to do that again to be safe. I’ll prob put it together tomorrow and fire it off tomorrow night or Monday sometime. Not in a huge rush. Thanks for the help.
