I've got a vacuum leak and need to redo my intake manifold gaskets. My question is, should I use any sealant around the intake and water ports and if so, what do you recommend for sealant? RTV would work fine for the water ports but any sealant around the intake ports would need to be fuel resistant. I'm using Fel-pro gaskets and the ports are already rubber-coated but I want to make sure I get a good seal as well as making sure the gaskets stay in place as I'm mounting the manifold. I think when I originally installed the manifold several years ago after engine replacement one of the gaskets slipped a little bit as I lowered the manifold on to the heads. Any input?
Thanks, Steve
