351w intake manifold
Looking through my haynes manual i noticed on the v8 diagram that a "seal" is installed over top the manifold gasket set for 351's only. I have a 351w but did not get the "seal: with the gasket kit. My gasket kit does have 4 pieces though and the diagram shows a two piece. Is the "seal" necessary? Is my gasket set sufficient? Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any "seal" on that but I do put "seal ER" in the corners where the gaskets meet. Only thing I have seen would be the little round plastic things that go in the bolt holes but those are just to help the side gaskets stay put. ( I thought)

The only seals I can think of are the rubbers that go on each end.
In my experience, I've always thrown them away and used a bead of silicone to seal the ends. The rubber seals tend to spit out when you tighten the intake.
