edelbrock intack manifold gaskets

[jmcleek]

I recently got a edelbrock intake for my 302/ 5l and was wondering what you would use on the gaskets ? I got mine used so it didnt come with every thing like the newone would have. here is the on line insructions http://www.jegs.com/InstallationInstructions/300/350/350-71211.pdf
the instruction say to use some type of seallent on the heads /manifold and gaskets page 4&5, and rtv at the frount and rear of manifold. found these instruction also http://www.jegs.com/InstallationInstructions/300/350/350-2121.pdf

I put the goop everywhere,,, except on peal and stick cork front/rear

I use these, large port Aluminum heads:

The intake you show will not work with large port Aluminum heads, need Edelbrock air gap.

I use a product called "high-tack" or something like that, it is what I tell the parts store guys and what I get. I just spray it on the head side and let it set up a little, it holds the gasket in place while I wrangle the silicone and intake around.

My Weiand intake instructions said pretty much the same thing, run a bead (thick enough to touch the intake and squish a little the whole length) of silicone (I used Permatex Ultra Black) on the front and back of the lifter valley. Overlap it a little with the regular gaskets so you get a good seal there too. SBF's are sort of known to push out gaskets, this is my first one so I just followed my directions, no leaks and I have done it twice (changed the cam and lifters)

So , the Elelbrock gop is just to hold the gaskets in place?


Thanks john

Here are the Weiand instructions I followed, they may be a little clearer.

The spray is just to hold the gaskets in place and maybe help them seal a tad better. My dad has done it for years on gaskets on all sorts of things. I first learned of the silicone across the front and rear of the intake from an old timer that builds racecar engines on the side and worked with my brother at his first dealership.

Spray the side gaskets with sealant (Permatex 80065), chuck the end gaskets in the trash and replace with a 1/4" bead of oil resistant silicone (Permatex Ultra Black).

I've been using Permatex Form-A-Gasket #2 and Fel Pro gaskets for years.... never once let me down. It gives you plenty of time to get everything together, and it's tacky enough to hold them in place while you are assembling it.

Thanks. I have used adheasive and sealant on other gasket but only sealant around the water ports and end gaskets on intakes. lean something new every day.

thanks John

If you have cork end gaskets, clean the block and bottom of intake with brake cleaner, let dry then apply a bead of super glue to the block and put the cork on there. Then when you get ready to put the intake on, run a small bead of RTV on top of the cork. It will NEVER leak or blow out. Ever.

Would you believe I have had issues with end seals before? Not anymore.
