IMHO it would be worth it (For me) to pay 75 bucks and its shipped to my door......

 

when it's put at the top of the intake system....

I used it to "seal" adapter plates to connect a holley 600 to the original intake manifold.

Gasoline doesn't completly cut it (acetone does), but gas made the interior chamber "squeeze out" flow. Manifold vacuum pulled the fluid permatex downward.

Valve stems and guides happen to be downward.

Not a smart move on my part, at all.

And, not wanting to just repeat the mess, I'd just as soon go back with a clean intake rather than relying on a boil to get rid of what ever hasn't quite made it to the combustion chamber, yet.

 

I'm hoping for a January thaw ;-)

 

That approach HAS crossed my mind.

 

The 87 is now gone.

Id boil that original intake as that JY intake will need it anyways.... the EGR passages will be plugged, I guarantee it. Unless you somehow cracked the original intake, or dropped it and busted off a chunk, there is NO REASON why it won't be serviceable. To replace an intake, because of a little gasket sealer seems dumb. for it to have stuck the valves, you had to really really overdo the sealer.... that's nutz
