intake gasket ?

[dalefan88]

im getting ready to put my hedman header and clifford intake on my AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . my ? is when i ordered my header gasket it didnt come with a intake gasket. do i still need to run a intake gasket. i do have a extra felpro one but i just thought id ask first. not use to doing intake/exhaust gaskets on a inline.

Use both gaskets that came with the felpro set. Also a little bit of the blue permatex thread locker (medium strength) helps keep the bolts tight, preventing future vac leaks.

are you saying use the exhaust gasket, header gasket, and the intake gasket? i got a real header gasket from hedman.

 

[Cheepjeep85]

No. I'm saying use either the header gasket/intake gasket or exhaust gasket/intake gasket. Is the header gasket thicker at the intake runners? What I'm trying to say is, does it look like it would be all in one gasket?

When I swapped heads and went to the 4.0 manifold, I just ran the single gasket without adding a second gasket on top of it for the intake. No leaks so far. Knock on wood.....

i just checked the header gasket. its the same thickness all acrossed it. so i will put the felpro intake gasket on with the header gasket. thanks guys

I first built my motor I had only a single gasket, no leaks until the bolts backed off. Then I replaced it with a felpro and it had one for each, so I guess its a coin toss decision.
