the china wall to intake end gap is less than 1/8". 2 ?s then.
1. at what point does the intake gasket side need to be milled?
2. what brand/type of silicon do you use at the china wall, which really works. and how long do you let it set before dropping the intake?


thanks Rod in AZ

I forgot the last time I used a gasket on the China Wall.
Use Permatex Ultra Grey as a sealant in lieu of a gasket or rubber seal.
Wait a few minutes until it gets tacky and place the intake carefully.
