I would use RTV I always had better luck getting it to seal up right, also you probably want to go over the intake a few times in sequence at 25ft-lbs to make sure they are all tight ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Re-torque them again in sequence after a few heat cycles also. They always come loose after you run the motor.
