Need a refresher on sealing intake manifold

[JimJablonski <groovinjim@xxxxxxx>]

I am getting ready to install the intake on the stroker build and it's been a few years since the last time I did this - would someone scan below - what I remember as a good way to go about it?

It is iron heads and an Edelbrock CH-28 (dual plane).  Note that I had the heads cc'd by Muscle Motors and I believe Eric said they had to give the intake side a little haircut as well given they milled the block side quite a bit.

Here's what I think I do:

- cement a paper intake gasket to the intake side of the heads
- slip the intake on to see if it aligns. If not, glue on another gasket, etc
- pull the intake off
- throw a bead of RTV on the end rails
- pop on the valley pan and the end rail tabs
- here's where i am foggy - do I put RTV anywhere on the sides of the valley pan?  I know some people actually trim the sides that lay over the intake ports but i dont think i ever did this
- last step is to install the bolts and torque it down

Oh, I think I smeared RTV on the bolt threads as well?

Am I close?

Thank you,

Jim
