Default RE: What's the deal with cork?
I got one now that I haveto repair (cork). I always use the Ford black silicone in place of the cork gaskets on the intake, but when I got the 91, someone put the cork gaskets in there instead.

Me, I would only use the silicone, it's best against leaks.

cork sucks...heatng and cooling causes it to be come brittle and shrink..it will crack from vibration or shrinkage eventually and you will leak...
