    I'll be putting my Intercooler core on today & it came with Garlock gaskets. Should i use the gaskets with or without rtv? Or should I use rtv without the gaskets? I ask this
    Because ive heard garlock gaskets leak.

    Recently, I've seen how well Permatex Ultra Grey alone can seal a SC/IC setup, and I say do it. God forbid you need to remove it anytime soon, but we have had zero leaks with it.

    Search my name and intercooler install. I've said it before, posted it...and even tossed out pictures.

    Not a single leak to date.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
