Your post about RTV sounds like you are using way to much lol.

When I put the intake on my truck I put just enough rtv on the head side so the gaskets would stick and then bolted it down.

For the china walls a good 1/4" bead down the walls and up the heads was all I did.

But before I did all that I ensured 100% that all surfaces were clean using acetone and smooth by using 120 grit sandpaper.
