Buick35 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I know the manual says to use a graphite grease on the exhaust manifold gasket due to expanding and contracting but I was wondering if that applies to the intake as well.The gaskets are all in one piece.I'm just concerned about intake leaks.I thought of masking off the separate gasket sections and just using the graphite on the exhaust ends and a gasket sealer on the intake ends. Any suggestions are appreciated.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pont35cpe Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 My `36 233 has rings recessed into the intake ports of the head, with part of the ring protruding for the intake manifold to slip over. My `41 248 engine is the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Nelson Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I used the copper gaskets vs the 'other' cheeper version. They alone allow for movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
