Smile intake gasket

yes, I used a punch.

I do it the same way David explained it. I let it sit for 15 minutes or more before I install the intake. Test fit the intake to see had much gap you have. When you apply the silcone make it 1/8" more than the gap. You don't want to much but enough to seal. A chuck of silcone working it way to the oil plump is not good.

I use gray silcone because it matches the intake color.

I like a few more hours to finish installing my KC heads and cam. Plus an intake, valve covers, side pipes, fan, fuel rails, throttle body and other stuff I forgot about. It started with bad valve guides last summer and I replaced the whole top end of my motor. There has to be something wrong with me.
Long winter and now it time to drive.
