How do you seal your small block intake?

Thanks for the replies. Just to note - the block was decked. Heads are RHS/LAX which are Magnum based. Intake is an old Holley Strip Dominator.

On the dowels - I took the time to measure their height with a caliper and the alignment holes in the intake are deeper than the amount the dowels stick up. Seems like they would be OK to leave in? No big deal to remove them, just less work if not necessary.

So I am a little confused on the method you guys are using around the intake ports. Some say to put sticky stuff on BOTH sides of the gasket? Do I need to? Again, I was planning on spraying the back of the gasket with the red sticky crap, then laying it down in place so it does not move. My heads are ported so the gasket sits right on the edges of the ports. Do I need to put RTV around each port under AND on top of the gasket? What happens if you need to remove the intake? Seems like a big mess to clean up?

What is the preferred gunk to use on the end rails, Right Stuff or black RTV?
