Edelbrock intake oil leak

gaskets are made for a reason silicon can be helpful or harmfull use a grey
high temp and a gasket use just a little on the corners and torque it to proper tightness and sequence and you shouldnt have a problem i have seen guys use silicon and use to much all it does is move the gasket when tightened a good tact glue is enough with a dab of silicon. My opinion
and I am a journy man tech
