The worst part is that it's such a b!tch to get everything to line up, I used The Right Stuff on the runners (good luck gtting that apart), and I Loctited everything...so I forsee swearing a lot in my afternoon! I guess the good news is that I'm getting really good at dis-reassembly!
And I'm writing notes as I go so if I ever have to do this again, I'll have an easy reference...

I had the foresight to order two sets of gaskets from LPE, and I'm glad I did...I goop the he!! out of it so I don't need to worry about any vac leaks...good to know the grease works; hopefully I won't ever take it apart....but AFR 195 upgrade could happen in a couple of years if I get bored with the 180's

I've always put my SR plenum and runner gaskets on without any sealer and never had a problem with any vacuum leaks. I did check all of my surfaces with a straight edge to make sure everything was flat, bolted it together and have been fine. I've had it apart a couple times and had no leaks ever. If you are going to use a sealer I would stick to Gasgacinch and make sure all of your surfaces are clean and flat.
