[AMC-List] Intake manifolds

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Armand,

When installing a valley pan gasket, you need to put
RTV sealant (typically comes with gasket)around all
the water jackets and at the corners front and back
where the rubber end pieces meet the tin.  It is best
to make sure the corner detent holes are pushed into
the head to align the gasket as well as pushing the
middle area of the pan down so that the edges pop
under the lip of the head.  Best to let the sealant
cure for a day before starting up the engine so that
you don't blow it out of the corners.

Felpro makes the valley pan gasket and Mr. Gasket
makes a paper style.  I have both in stock for anyone
who needs them as well as entire gaskets sets.

Thanks,

Lately there was some discussion regarding intake
manifold gaskets and 
how
to install them. I really thought it was great that we
got some guys to
respond to it. I haven't put an intake on an AMC
engine in maybe 27 or 
28
years, and I had completely forgotten about the
features of the metal
gasket. Can anyon eexpand on this and tell us where
sealant is needed 
and
where sealant should not be used??  How about the best
source for this 
metal
gasket?? Anyone have a good supplier for it??

Thanks,

Armand
