Are there any particular sealing tips when installing the intake gaskets on my 2.9? I know on my 427 FE the trick is red Permatex spray on both sides and Right Stuff around the coolant ports, both sided and you'll never have an issue. Looking to see if there is an "recipe" of sealants to use.

Thanks,
 
I haven't had any problem with good quality gaskets sealing around all of the ports. The ones I speak of have the silicone ring around the ports.
Good RTV or the black that comes with them for the ends. Just make sure you get a really good high bead in there to fill the gap.
