Nay, exhaust (and/or intake) manifold gaskets are always dry, at least
in every application that I have seen. My "modern" autos also have several
rubber gaskets (such as the valve cover) which are to be installed without
gasket compound. And yes, the carb-kit instructions I have seen usually
request no gasket compound, either. As far as the technique for using it
when it *is* required, someone else covered that topic here in the last year
or so -- anyone recall that discussion?
