Re: Intake Manifold Gaskets/ Use of RTV

Doug,

Re:"NASCAR uses it to hold lug nuts inplace."

I think they use threads.  The ones on the wheel studs.

For intake end seals I use RTV.  Have for years, probably a dozen
engines.  Works very well when you are trying various manifolds on an
engine dyno.  Cork takes a set and with minor clearance changes
between various manifolds cleaned up heads you get more problems than
solutions.
