Gasket Question

Use whatever sealant is specified by the SC kit maker/OEM or none at all if none is recommended. A little gasket cement on the four corners of each gasket should be enough to keep them from moving. You might also figure out a way of sticking some short lengths of doweling into the bolt holes in the block to keep the gaskets in place, then removing them with a strong magnet once you get the intake/SC in place.

If you are really worried about handling the SC, suspend it over the block using a cherry-picker or a carefully positioned cable hoist slung over the rafters of your garage. Then you can lower it very slowly while you and your friend guide it into place.

Thanks very much, haven't heard of gasket cement before.

I'd go to the parts store and get some spray tack (also known as high tack or quick tack) and spray the gaskets. That should hold them in place as you lower the intake into place.

Good luck,

Thanks, much appreciated.

It's a 4.6 liter 2002 Mustang GT. Kenne Bell supercharger kit.

I'm not used to dealing with gaskets this big, and trying to be careful about the install.
