Re: Fresh, original 72 350 w busted valve keeper - how bad?

I've always "glued" the rubber end gaskets with Black RTV to the block and left it sit overnight. I then use a rtv bead on top of that the next day when I install the intake. Never had a leak, most of which were caused by the intake pushing the rubber gasket out of place during the installation. Lots of work to strip that engine down with all the accessories and brackets!
