Had my intake manifold hot tanked and installed new choke stove gasket w/o sealer. Didn't hold. Leaked though both sides. Wondering if I should have used some copper sealant? or any other advice? Maybe the stove flange is warped? Bought a new stove from inline tube planning to use it when reassembling.
Was wondering if I should smear some copper sealant on the new felpro gasket then assemble or just go with the dry gasket again?
Thanks!

I have the stove and the gaskets new for $30 shipped.
Something must be warped. I have never had a problem with the Fel Pro gaskets. Make sure the bolts are not bottoming out. There really should not be a lot of pressure there anyway unless you have a bad exhaust restriction.
