Thread sealer

What thread sealer are you using to prevent oil migration to the top of the intake manifold. When I installed the intake on my 63 I used a Teflon thread sealer. I have two bolts that now have oil around them.

Thanks for any help!

Someone once told me that Teflon sealants are not resistant to petroleum products. With that in mind, why does everyone including me use Teflon tape to seal their fuel lines ???

I think that the best thing to seal your intake manifold bolts would be Permatex form-a-gasket #2. It's ugly, won't come off your hands, never dries up, but it works.

I use ARP Thread Sealer on intake bolts.
