I used ultra blue gasket maker with my felpro gaskets and now I can't get my lower intake off.
do you guys have any tricks.
I tried prying against the valve covers, but it just started bending them.
I don't want to hit it with a hammer either, I also tried prying it from the intake ports and it made a dent in the runner, so I stopped that.

any help is appreciated.

take off the thermostat housing and stick a bar in the intake and pry easily

that works or just grab the t-stat houseing and just lift stright up with two hands . as soon as you break the seal the rest will come off easy . next time olny use RTV on the front and back in place of the corks . the upper plemtum to lower intake gasket is set toalty dry B/W

just mussle it it is not like a weld good luck

you could also make a thin wood wedge and drive it carefully between the block and the intake at the front of the intake until the seal of the silicone breaks free.

You could also take a single blade razor and gently tap it into the seam. Do this where ever you have access. Will make it easier to pry off.

I just use a painter scraper taping it

my felpro gaskets come with rubber front and back gaskets, I use those covered with silicone.
I don't trust cork gaskets, they don't last.


I also noticed when I took the upper off the back 4 ports were pretty wet with fuel and oil, what could cause this?
