Hello people, I have a vacuum leak where my manifolds ontact the heads. Is there any type of sealer that I should apply between the gasket/head/and manifold surfaces? Thanks Eric 68 Bug cab 62 Ghia cab


It's not critical. You can use any auto gasket cement. I use silicone (RTV) sealant/caulk. You only need a light film.

The factory didn't use anything and relied on the metal gasket compressing. But they were working with brand spanking new castings with absolutely flat surfaces.
