Leaking oil BB intake
OK, I have seen some of the threads on fixing oil leaking intake gaskets. On my 1968, 427 GM aluminum intake to an Iron oval port head I am using Fel-Pro 1212. Should I put some (small amount) high temperature sealers around all the ports???? The center open ports around the crossover exhaust heat tube is also filling with oil. Any ideas????

Hi
I used sealant only on all 4 water ports and both crossover walls. I also used the rubber seals, some don't and only use sealant there.
I don't think you need to use selant on the intake air ports.
