Reply to "Intake install"

George PAdmin.

Even Ford is using a thick bead of RTV to seal the ends of intake manifolds. The new Fel Pro gasket kits I've purchased over the last few years provide a tube of RTV in place of the end seals. I lay a 1/4" thick bead & let it dry a half hour, then just plop the manifold down.

One last mention about the turkey tray, ONLY use it if your motor is using the manifold heating passage, Ford's reason for designing the tray was to prevent oil from contacting the hot manifold & turning to ash. No exhaust heat, no turkey tray needed. None of the alloy heads sold for the Cleveland have provision for an exhaust heated manifold.
