Intake gasket leak?

Inertia said
Please don't put any rtv anywhere except a pea sized dab where the gaskets meet.
Those 1213 S-3s have raised seals around each port, don't mess it up with rtv.
The end-gaskets for the China wall are thinner, and fit better than other sets.
I've been using them since they came out, - for use with aluminum manifolds to get away from chugging a bead of jelly rtv on the China wall.
Glue the gasket to the China wall with a good adhesive like 3M weather strip adhesive, or similar contact cement.
4 dabs of "Right Stuff" at the joints, (I threw all jelly rtv in the garbage).

All surfaces clean, - Good luck

PS, I think if you check, it is not recommended to use rtv in contact with anything fuel related. Please Google it, it does cause issues/dissolves.

I've never had one leak before but then I have never double gasketed before. I just fit the manifold without gaskets and it looked pretty good. I have no idea why I thought I needed to double gasket it but that was a few years ago. Usually I make very light use of RTV on the sides around the ports and run a thin bead front and back on top of the China wall gaskets and heavier in the corners. I believe I Gasgacinch'd the China wall gaskets to the block last time. I just picked up a fresh tube of Permatex Right Stuff black gasket maker this morning.
