440 Intake Gasket Recommendations
« on: April 09, 2015 - 08:50:17 PM »
Hello. 

I have 1968 440 with 906 Heads.  I will be installing Edelbrock's RPM intake. 

I was wondering what type of intake gasket I should use since I will be installing an aluminum intake to steel heads?

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

Personally I've never had good results using the paper gaskets with the pan... I use the 1215 pan, throw away the paper gaskets & use Yamabond 5 on both sides of the pan around the ports... Never had a issue...

For those who aren't familiar with Yamabond 5 it's used to seal motorcycle engine cases without using a gasket... Impervious to oil & gasoline, once you try it you'll be using it for all those annoying hard to seal areas..

I use the paper gasket between the heads & pan Only , 4 paper gaskets & you will not get the intake on !!
 but a good sealer like Yamabond will work too
