Inlet manifold gasket.
Hi Guys
After installing the M tuned fuel rail with new dash fittings and tidying up a few things, reroute passes through inlet manifold pipes, I need to refit the inlet manifold. It appears the previous owner, when he built this motor in the first place used a small amount of liquid gasket around the water jacket holes. Is this necessary with a new gasket? Is it good or bad practice to do so as an extra precaution? |

Regardless of make or model, i rtv around all water passages on any gasket. A thin coat on both sides. But that's just me. I've never has a leak or issues with this, but I have had the occasional leak before I made it a common practice. I must emphasize, thin coat. Problems occur when people splooge it everywhere.

Thanks Sean, that was my suspicion. Appreciate the help.
