Intake Manifold

[brendanstl]

Before I ask these questions I do have the proper manual for myh specific engine.

I am reinstalling my intake manifold and was wondering if I need the rubber gaskets that go on the front and rear of the block where the maifold bolts down? By the looks of the manual it just shows RTV but I'm not sure by the bad picture. Also I do have the automatic choke so I had to get a gasket with the crossover holes in them but with the kit I have they give me the option to put the restrictor plates on that make the holes smaller, do I need these?

I have a 1995 350 mag mercruiser.

About the front and back of the manifold: Yes, it is just RTV. At least, that's how it was on ours when we put in our longblock.

no on rubber gaskets, make sure you run a bead of rtv (Use "the right stuff" by permatex - nothing it beats it!) along the ends with a little extra in the corners and just a tad up the head.
