Default TPI sealer Question

Hi Guys
I'm in the late stage of a cam replace. I was wondering if I should glue the tpi to the maniflod. I put permatex on the manifold to the heads, I just was wondering if it is needed on the TPI to the manifold.

I never used any sealers to attach the TPI to the intake or plenum.

What gaskets are you using? Mine were stock/fel pro design that crush seal into place on install.Some other aftermarket brands,say,Mr gasket,thats flat on both sides,may benefit from some sealer,if the metal areas for gaskets,are way off specs.

No sealer needed on the runner to plenum gaskets.
