intake intake gasket

Milled heads .030. Can I use a set of 1/8" intake gaskets and should i use the cork seals on the front and back or just a bead of silicone on the tpi intake gasket?

If you do not use the cork seals on the china walls you will have to use the silicone (or whatever your using). Make sure you have a big enough bead or you will have a leaking intake. Not sure if you can use the 1/8 gaskets. I wouldnt see why not though.

Thanks for the info. CapTPicardsZ28.
I will use the 1/8" intake gasket with a 1/4" silicone bead on the china walls.Unless someone else thinks I should use the cork.

I used RTV Black on my China Walls. Use too much rather than too little. Make sure you go up the ends where it mates with the intake gasket.
