Gasket install advice for intake swapping

[mbaird]

I am scheduled for a dyno session in 2 weeks and I want to try my tunnel ram while I am there .
Any advice on gasket install that will help make a quick swap using same gasket ? Adhesive to head side... no adhesive ... use new gaskets etc .
I dont want to eat up 2 hours of dyno time scraping gaskets.

I do prefer the felpro 1213.. it's a thicker gasket that I like to use ...

I run W2s so I will just order a few more sets from Superperformance. I have his number on speed dial ...lol

Chapstick on the gaskets is an old trick to make em come off easily.

Maybe I can wax the intake surface ?

Not sure about wax. But there is an engine masters episode where they test a few “old timer” tricks like that. Can’t remember what episode it was though. I’d call the dyno operator and ask him. They are usually quite familiar with quick intake changes and may have a tip.

I have used red grease on the top side of the gasket with the Eddy gasket sealant under them

I have used Vaseline on the intake side lots of times. Kim
