You use a dab of RTV in the corners where the head meets the block.

I still used the cork without any issues for years.

I wouldn't waste my time with the cork seals period for the ends, they shift to many times, unless of course you wanna glue them in place the night before, but heck I never have time for that crap..............I use a bead of "the right stuff" by permatex = never leaks and is strong.

To reassemble it, you don’t use gaskets instead use Permatex 518 anaerobic gasket maker which is carried by NAPA. When you use this, you also should use the spray activator (NAPA part #765-1154). Spray the activator on the manifolds and put a small bead of 518 on the blower case. You cannot reassemble the manifolds one at a time, you have to slide them onto the long TB studs and kind of have them semi lined up, then put in two bolts in each manifold loosely. Then you can finish putting the rest of the bolts in hand tight. Starting from the inside, torque the bolts to 20# each - do them in an ‘opposite' pattern. Clean up the 518f that seeps out.

seems like there using it as the entire gasket
