installing intake gasket

I have the victor intake gaskets and wondering if you only put sealer only on the water passages, or on all the ports

That's all I do. Throw away the end seals and just use a bead of blue RTV instead. RTV won't interfere with the way the manifold meets up to the head and it seals much better.

Don't get crazy with the black RTV. I just use enough to coat it. I also use it between the ports just to hold the gasket in place. I don't let it near the actual intake ports.
