318 edelbrock intake install ( round two)

I just use the over-the-counter fel pro intake gaskets, like 19 bucks. With aluminum intakes, I run a thick bead of Black RTV max oil resistant by permatex, like 3/8 thick on the china walls and extra on the corners. No leaks.

I’ll give that a shot. I out a ton of silicone on the China walls but it was 12,000 degrees out the day I did it and the rtv was sitting in the sun and became pretty runny so I’m sure that didn’t help. I have some blue (prob fel pro) gaskets along with 2 sets of metal gaskets. I’ll prob use the blue ones and see if I can put a dab of super glue on the gasket to hold It in place. Figure it can’t hurt to make sure the gasket doesn’t move.
