I am just in the middle of the install of my new intake. The instructions for the fel-pro valley pan gasket say to use a light coating of sealer around the ports. All I can find at the parts store is either Permatex high tack spray, or Permatex #3 Aviation Form-a-gasket sealer (brush on). Both say they will seal metal surfaces and are resistant to gasoline.


Any idea which I should use?


Thanks.


Gasket Sealants : Permatex® Aviation Form-A-Gasket® No. 3 Sealant Liquid


Gasket Sealants : Permatex® High Tack? Spray-A-Gasket? Sealant

 

I ended up using the high tack spray. Felpro said to use a light coating and I figured the spray would be easier to go on light.

 

I prefer the aviation form a gasket, but it has to be applied appropriately, The spray would probably easier, as you said. Let us know how it works.

 

Thanks, I figured either should work, just wanted a second opinion. In Tom Monroe's book he just installs the gasket dry and the Ford Service manual says the same.


Everything was all buttoned up yesterday, I just need to fab up a new fuel line when I have a chance to go to the parts store.

 

saweet! I love it when a project comes together and it breaths life.
