Hi,

The only place I use sealants is to hold a gasket in place during 
re-assembly. Never use sealants on the carb / manifold interface. Never 
use sealants on the manifold head interface and NEVER NEVER use sealants 
for the head gasket.

When you do use sealants, use them sparingly and only use them on on one 
side to hold the gasket in place. It's best to let the sealant set up 
before you assemble so that the sealant doesn't get all over everything.

Regards,
rml
