Edelbrock recommends using RTV in place of the end seals. What kind do you guys use?

i use clear silicone adhesive and have never had a problem.saw them use it on horse power t.v. a few yrs. ago.

ultra blue oil resistant

I use the common RTV blue glue. A tip if the intake your installing is new. After the first run up the road, after the engine cools check the intake bolt torque, I would do this several times since they will come loose. If your running a small block chevy, I would also install some RVT sealant on the 4 center bolts, as oil will seep up past the threads and make a mess on the intake.

I have used some kind of silicone adhesive on any intake manifold install on the end seals whether it cast-iron or aluminum and never had a problem. Small dabs of silicone will help hold the intake gasket in place also when you install the new manifold.

I just finished an install of an AirGap on my SBC. I used a 1/4 inch bead of UltraBlack in the front and back, I installed my Performer RPM the same way, and never had a problem.

I just installed a performer rpm and used high temp black. You could use just about any color but I would use High temp.

Used the Permatex High temp,never leaked yet.Drive it daily.

[Max Keith]

I use Permatex Ultra Gold

You can even use it in lieu of exhaust gaskets.

Permatex Tuff-Stuff. It is expensive ~13-15$ for a can, but it creates a great rubberized gasket.

Say that again Larry
Seeing you in your journal,that sounds like the last thing you would say.

[TurboS10]

I always used the gaskets with sealer until I had a rear seal leak resently on my S-10. I would suggest the silicone all the way. I like the red stuff, but any of it will work just fine. It does not get that hot anyhow.

Use teflon paste,not silicone on the bolts.

Not my first choice of adjectives.
