leaking again!!!
I need to know if they make a gasket for the ip adapter housing. I have sillyconed it twice now it it is leaking again right in the front where it fits over the front plate on the engine. I called autozone and they have no idea what I am talking about. If they don't make a gasket for this do you guys have any suggestions on what to use to fix it for good. This last time I used permatex ultra black and it lasted about a month and a half.

It is imperative that it is 100% oil free, Brake clean on a rag till you think it's clean, grab a clean rag and do it again! I go one step further, I use alcohol wipes after brake clean!
This applies to rubber gaskets and silicone most importantly.
But all gasket surfaces should be contaminant free.

I remember now, there is a trough in the bottom of the cover that gets a bead of RTV.
Let the RTV set up rather stiff before you install the cover.
Oil free surfaces before you put the RTV on the cover and install it.

Thanks guys, I guess I will try again lol. This is really getting old this is the third time. I have no other leaks on this engine which is a first for me on any truck I have ever had even the 97 F150 I used to own (computers suck even more so on trucks)lol.
