Hey guys i have a 91LX with upper and lower Trick Flow intake. i am getting a oil leak from the passenger side rear of the lower intake, and it running down the rear of the block( new gaskets) (no cracks!!). Anyone ever had this happen? i was wondering if maybe i should get rid of the gastket and just run RTV. Or just gastket and no RTV. Or gastets with RTV ????????
Thanks !!!

f!!! those gaskets.. I throw them away and run a nice thick bead of permatex's "THE RIGHT STUFF".....when I used to use the end gaskets..9 times out of ten they'd leak ftl!!!

My stang had that issue with the stock manifold. When I replaced it with an Edlebrock, I used RTV and the little gasket they give. Been about a year and 1000 miles, no leaks yet. Couldn't hurt if you don't mind taking it apart again to dump RTV there. A mechanic told me that the oil leaking on the transmission eventually wouldruin the tranny. Not sure if he knew what he was talking about though.

thanks guys !!

P.S.I.cho

no seriously what MJR sounds about right, i just used the intake port gaskets and the cork gaskets for the rear and front are a serious joke, run a bead of (i used black) permatex
