How do you seal your small block intake?
I believe I have the same gasket set you do, with the cork gaskets that have the adhesive side on them. I used the cork end seals with plenty of silicone in the corners (Ultra Black) where the end seals and intake gaskets meet, and a smear of ultra black on the top surface. It has not leaked at all. The cork will compress as you tighten the intake. This is with an Edelbrock Super Victor EFI intake.
Previously, I had a performer RPM air gap manifold and basically the same thing was done. That never leaked either.
I also use Acetone to remove any oily residue and gasket material.
No RTV around the intake ports, the stuff really isn't made for gasoline compatibility. Plus, you bought the good gaskets with the raised sealing surfaces.
