I am going to use the exhaust manifold gaskets. just wondering if those front to back gaskets leak -------------------- "I like to be more politicaly correct than what I really believe so I can get more frinds here on CaFords"-Cummings "TIPICKLE" Posts: 6556 | Registered: Jan 2003  |  : Blind 2.3L CAFords OG Member # 3052 posted                              dont use the cork gaskets, but uh, 1 inch thick of RTV is quite a lot, lol. Just squeeze it out along that groove like toothpaste -------------------- 89 LX Notchback ex 4cyl, 14psi 02 Harley F150, 15psi Posts: 8521 | From: Fairfield | Registered: Jul 2003  |  : 93mustang50 ¯ Member # 6642 posted                              the gasket and rtv is a safe way to go. -------------------- 93GT 306 H/C/I supercharged 06 Cummins 6spd 90 GT 5sdp daily driver HCI 16 Hellcat Charger 91GT aod(sold) 88GT5spd(totaled) Posts: 213 | From: Vacaville | Registered: Mar 2006  |  : illwill510 ¯ Member # 3788 posted                              I used the gasket in the front with rtv and the rear i used rtv only. Be sure to use a good layer on the rear so it seals up good. You dont want to find out the hard way like i did.
