A quick question on this subject:

What are people using on intakes? Do you use a thin coat of Loctite 574 on both sides of the gaskets, on either side of the insulators? Or do you go dry? I ask this in case one needs to remove the manifold assembly at some point in the future. Mine came apart pretty easily, and I used 574 IIRC when I built it. The assembly removed from the heads easily, and the manifolds released the insulators, but some of the gaskets were stuck to the insulators pretty well. I didn't bother trying to clean them-I just ordered new from our host. Maybe I should have just used 574 on the gasket surfaces mating to metal and left the insulator sides dry?
