the bead on the intake and block are these at the front and rear? do I use any rtv on the sides between intake and heads? do you put the 1/8" bead on the intake same places as the 1/4-5/16" bead on the block?

thanks again

i like to make a small bead on the intake i feel it works better that way so it stick better. then a bead on the block rails in about the same spot you can set the intake down and draw a line with a sharpy marker before you put down the RTV i like on put some around the water ports as well then beded the intake gaskets in to the RTV i use tape to hold the intake gaskets from moving put it were the intake will not get in the way so you can get the tape off when done. i like some slip on the intake .i use a thin coat on permatex form a gasket on the port side i like this for that but that just the way i do it
