HELP! - Intake Manifold Gasket issue

[SirGollum]

Hey Guys,

Reaching out for some advice!

Ive just reinstalled a manifold on a new engine I purchased, but forgot to put sealant on BOTH sides of the gaskets for the coolant passages. Will this be ok ? , or do I need to take the manifold off again...and if I do have to remove again, can I reuse the gaskets, since the engine hasn't been run yet ? They are OEM gaskets.

Its a VR 304, with std manifold.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

It'll be fine. I never use sealant on inlet gaskets.

If you have to use sealant, there is something wrong with the gaskets.
