Spending hrs scraping off alum side of manifold gasket,is there anything i can spray or brush on to keep this from happening again. I installed this about 3 yrs ago with nothing on it,dry both sides,came off the block but stuck bad,bad to the manifold.Or a diff composition one,this came from the Famous "MAC'S". Never had this happen before,im realy PO'd about it. I have a new one to put on from them but am hesitent to do so. Maybe one in a fel-pro brand?? thanks for any solutions to this. ken ct help:(:(:confused::confused:
 
Hi Ken, I use Fel-Pro gaskets:) and usually don't apply any thing to the intake manifold gasket. You could use a dab of weather strip cement or try some Indian Head shellac. That will hold the gasket and should not stick to the block or intake.:cool:
 
Vic ,i dont put anything on them either,but for some reason this one stuck to the manifold. You realy dont need to glue anything as there are 2 dowels to hold it in place. I'll see if napa has one in stock. i can wait as were leaving for Charlotte sunday,they will hold it for me if it comes in after we leave. thanks Vic.
 
Only thing I ever used on intake to be able to reuse if necessary was plain old chassis grease both sides, also thought it would position better while tightening down to eliminate a vacuum leak. Worked for me.
