I am putting my intake manifolds back on tonight after finding leaks using the "spray starting fluid on the manifolds" trick.
I have always used a thin coat of RTV Blue Silicone on the paper gaskets between the carbs & intake manifolds. Now I read that RTV is bad news on the intake and should not be used. So I did many searches (yes even on this site) and cannot find a definitive answer. Most say use the thick paper gaskets all by them selves, dry. Some say use some grease. I found a few on this site that said use a "thin coat of non-hardening sealant", but they didnt say exactly which brand. I have a couple of Curils, some permatex gasket maker (non-hardening), etc. Any ideas? I need something where you dont have to wait 24 hours as I dont have that kind of time. (loading for race tomorrow) Thanks for the help in advance. I'll go do the second manifold before putting the first carb back on. |
