I think ill just ''borrow'' maniseal outta stephens work van and do that.

Gonna be a cunt to get manifold in there without making a mess of the sealant. studs would be helpfull if i could get monifold in with them. have had to go for all bolts.

Don't use maniseal.

Anybody that can get NZ Gaskets stuff can get Three bond, Repco etc etc or you can get the same stuff in a Nissan tube from Nissan, my RB gasket set came with a tube in it.

Fuck, just get some gasket paper and use a small hammer to do it.

Works mint everytime

Infact I own a small ballpeen hammer for this very perpose

Other wise three bond from somewhere will work

But On that that note I to dissagree with using sealer on intake manifolds as there is room for the sealer to loosen and enter the engine/ valves/ yuck

if you care about your shit, dont use silicone. Its basically a bodge and not a long term solution, seen too much of this shizz.

In the past I have got some gasket paper, snapped a ballpoint pen and spread a bit of ink on the manifold, then pressed the gasket paper against it to give me a outline to carve out with a craft knife. Pretty low tech but works. (Clean up the ink before re-assembly).
