Is RTV gasket maker used when replacing the stock UIM gasket?

 

yes, but you still need a new gasket

run a bead of RTV in the groove for the gasket on the valve cover
place the gasket on top of the rtv (make sure the gasket is seated)
then run a bead on the head where the valve cover mates to it (be sure to run a good bead on the corners as thats where they are prone to leaking)

 

On the Upper Intake Manifold? No. Can you do it? Yes but go easy so it wont squeeze into the runners.

 

thanks for that...I just seen RTV and thought VCG's

 

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
One sentence, 11 words and you some how managed to read 'valve cover gaskets'.... much? LOL

 

hahaha,... too funny.
I guess some are just so anxious to post a comment that they dont read entirely what they are actually replying to.

 

No not needed.

 

actually I was on the phone, my droid is slow as ****. I just seen the RTV and gasket, and didnt let it finish loading the page, so I made my reply.

I forgot how Flava never makes a mistake......

 

 

LOL, nice edit.
But Im not sure why your upset with me, Im not the one who called you out.
I simply made a statement how "some are just so anxious to post a comment that they dont read entirely what they are actually replying to" in which you just confirmed doing by saying Honestly, just in the thread title itself it mentions UIM and RTV gasket maker.
