I know there was a previous post about this, but I can't find it.

Here's what I want to do. I want to install my r/b heads and intake to get the 'Bird running & tuned, and then remove the intake to fully detail/paint the engine compartment.

Can I put some sort of coating of light grease or oil on my intake gaskets to make removal easier, and to prevent damaging them for reinstallation? Or is it not worth the frustration, and I should just pony up for another set of intake gaskets?

Anyone have the part# for intake manifold gaskets for the larger intake port heads?

Many thanks!

Todd,



Didn't know how to insert link, so just quoted the thread you wanted. Should be right before this one.

Todd, I use white greese on the intake gaskets for easy removal. It also makes a good  sealer on other gaskets. BigGrin

The FelPro # for the large port gaskets is MS-9361.  Here’s the link to the reusing intake gaskets discussion as it will eventually end up somewhere besides right below this particular topic.

Link posting help: To copy a link, highlight the link that’s at the top of the page you want the link to display and then press the ‘Ctrl’ and ‘C’ keys simultaneously.  To paste the link in the thread, be in the edit mode of making a post and while having the cursor at the spot where you’d like the link to start,  press the ‘Ctrl’ and ‘V’ keys simultaneouly.  The link should then display.  At this point put an extra space behind the link using the space bar so it continues to work as a link on most operating systems.

 

Alternative method: Highlight the link you’d like to copy into the paste buffer and hit the right key on the mouse while the cursor is over the link.  A popup window will display.  Select ‘copy’.  Then while in the edit mode of pasting a new post or a response, hit the right key again and select ‘paste’.  The link is expected to display starting at the point the cursor on the page was located.  At this point put an extra space behind the link using the space bar so it continues to work as a link on most operating systems.
