I will be installing a Torker on a BBO with Performer RPM aluminum heads.
Is Mr Gasket # 404 the best gasket set to use? I've heard the stock bathtub gasket does not work with aluminum intakes. Just use RTV blue around water ports and what is recommended on the rest of the gasket surface? I've used brown permatex in the past with iron heads. I have read that some discard the end rail gaskets and just use a bead of RTV Black. Some recommend dimpling the block with a center punch about every inch so the silicon will have something to bite on. I have installed a few BBO intakes in my life and always used the front and rear rail gaskets along with some silicon and never had a problem with leaks. Suggestions on sealer and what others do appreciated. Thanks, John [ September 04, 2004: Message edited by: blonzz ]</p>
