When reassembling the heater ducts under the engine is there a high temp sealing material that goes between the joins or is it just metal on metal?
Picture is just an example of the joints, but I'm asking about all of them.  |

The 914 Rubber piece is the best way to go, but before these were available my friend and 914 guru Brad Mayeur told me to use the red high temp silicone sealant. Squeeze an even bead in the groove on the bottom and then all around the top. Let it sit for about 10 mins or until it just skins over and then install. Wipe off excess.
