Edelbrock Heads And Aluminum Manifold Upgrade

I used Mr. Gasket 404 intake gaskets and no end seals. I used Gaskacinch 9300 (sort of like a contact cement for gaskets) on the head side. I used a 1/4" bead of Loc-Tite Blue RTV-587 in place of the the end seals. I used a thin bead of Loc-Tite Blue around the water jacket ports on the manifold side of the gasket. I partially torqued the bolts (~15-20 Ft-lbs) and let it set for a couple days. Then I torqued it to 35 ft-lbs.
