Putting intake back on block. Was very clean when removed on block side & didn’t seem to have any sealing product on it & required minor cleanup & inspection for flat so I’m not planning on sealer on block side of gasket. Intake side definitely had stickum sealer on it. Cleaned scraped intake made sure nice & flat. Question is should I use sealer on intake side of gasket again? I normally wouldn’t on other overhead valve engines I’ve worked on so don’t think so but as it had on to start & my first adventure inside a Flathead thought I’d bounce it off a more knowledgeable source,

u guys.
