Need to change the intake gaskets over on the 253 in our race car. If the manifold is slightly out and requires machinging, could we just use 2 gaskets on either surface?
Or if we used the normal gaskets on the heads, could we just use the RTV silicone on the bottom? If so, wat's the best way to do it.....put the side gaskets on with sealant around the water galleries (wat's the best gear for that?), and lay a nice bead of RTV silicone on the bottom, front and back, then sit the intake on, do the bolts up a bit, but then allow it to sit for 24hrs b4 tightening the bolts up?
We're getting sick of pulling this bloody intake off, so hopefully we get it right this time haha.:bang:
