I was thinking of having it o-ringed but not sure of what kind of gasket to use to seal it up . any tip would help thanks .:Cheer:

My intake has a metal-impregnated gasket. I don't know how well it works because its not installed right now. I'll try and find a link to a part number for you.

Edit: Here it is: Competition Diesel.Com - Bringing The BEST Together - View Single Post - Homemade or Custom cut-off intake/port and polish job.

individual runner i take it? or ? my engine builder used 99cent silicone from walmart, cheap, use a good cleaner and mate the two surfaces... never had a problem, it works, believe it or not

Greg told me when I bought mine to use Permatex Right Stuff. It comes in a tube for a caulk gun, not like regular silicone. NAPA, Advance Auto Parts have it, and it's about 16 dollars for a tube, works great on oil, water, air connections, Give it a try.

P.S. No gasket with this, just silicone.
