Hey all - regarding my 1992 SCLB, 5.7 I am replacing the intake manifold gasket. I have some light pitting at the water ports (not sure if that's what they're called?). I've been advised that the side gaskets should be installed "dry" (no ATV except the tabs at the front and rear.
Question - should I put a light/thin coat of ATV on the head side of the gasket where the pitting is? The pitting is not bad, and I suspect the crushing of the gasket material would make a seal.
What are your thoughts?
