LIM aluminum gasket- what kind of adhesive and where to apply?

[colindunn]

what kind of adhesive do i use and where exaclt does it go on the metal gaskets? thanks

black RTV.

it goes in the corners where the two gaskets would meet, on the LIM side under the side pieces.

[colindunn]

thats all thats used then? i dont need to apply it anywhere else?

Watch this video. Youll get a visual as to how the RTV is applied.

okay. its aplied to the 4 corners before and after the gasket is in place got it. my haynes manual says when using aluminum gaskets to aply a spray adhesive to the whole gasket? is that right? it looks like in the video the guy used those kinds of gaskets but didnt do that. is that fine? also, torque specs-- the supercharger i know is 17ftlbs. now for the lim, the ALLDATA program says tighten the lim bolts to 11ftlbs. my haynes manual says the "intake manifold-to-cylinder head bolts for 1993 and later is 132 in lbs." doesnt make sense. anyone help me real quick?

IF only there was a torque spec thread in the gen tech section. You do not need any adhesive on the gasket to head area only the corners.
