Default In the Middle of Dahlback and EvoShield install and have question......

I'm getting ready to stick everything back in the car and have a question.

The EvoShield comes with 2 gaskets and phenolic spacer. The Evoshield instructions don't mention any sealant at all. I have always used sealant on both sides of gaskets.

For those that have already done this, did you use Permatex RTV between each item, such as: Car - permatex - gasket - permatex - phenolic - permatex - gasket - intake manifold or what?

Thanks

Default Yes... One of a VERY few. =/

Actually, I don't have any complaints lately...

Oh, except that I destroyed the splitter's adjusters getting in and out of my driveway.

Know anyone who might want to point me to a nice sailing shop? ;-)
