Are you going from a NPI intake manifold to a PI intake manifold? If so, then yes. You need to use RTV. Look up on the Stickies for a PI intake manifold swap, there is a good write up on it.

Well I got the exact same problem....I knew it was leaking but didn't know from where....Had my motor detailed 2 days ago and now my car is running like chit can't get ahold of the guy who detailed it and he told me he would take care of it if it didn't end up getting better by today...Took off all the coils and sure enough water like crazy......now on the back end cylinder number 4 there was antifreeze in it now chit even worse....so used a air compressor to take it all off but still misfiring not as bad but you can notice........last but not least not sure to just get a new intake or just replace the gaskets and any thoughts on what to do next about the misfiring?
