Yeah, I know. It's all good.
Say, I'm down there now putting my intake on. Which side goes against the heads? Mr gasket.
I do not think it matters.
Thanks buddy.
I suppose I should cut these to fit? As you can see, there's a tab on the head gasket that sticks out. I need to clear that or cut it off.

trim a little bit to fit, yeah
No, they go in the slot in the cork part, Dont cut those, they will compress. You might have to punch out the cutout in the cork.
Whatever....

hmm i had to trim mine. mine didnt have any slots. Felpro set
Well, I guess I'm too fast as usual. The thing is, I have a fel-pro head gasket on one side and the original Fitzco on the other. And the intake kit is from Mr Gasket. So none of it fits together.
It looks like it will be ok once I find and tighten the intake bolts.
Why so negative?
I don't have any RTV and this thing is only going together because I decided I WILL go for a test drive before it snows. Then the engine and trans anew coming out for paint, them and the engine bay.

Rule 1: never rush an engine build...Why so negative?

Rule 2: Screw rule one, ROADKILL it!
Ha ha! Well, I'm only putting the intake on. And that tab I cut off the head gasket? Fell down past the camshaft ...
Oh well, like I said, it's not staying together for long ...
Seems like the bolts (yes, I found them) are ... diversified?

You know you are a car guy when you mention Vanishing Point at work and everyone looks at you stupid?
I've used the clear Silicone RTV also with success...

Save the longest one for the front pass corner of the intake manifold near the heater hose nipple, that's a little hard to get started and the extra length helps..
I don't know if I'd use the shortest one...

yeah.
Thanks, I put the longest ones up front. They all caught well and are now elbow-torqued. Dinner time.
