did you use silicon?

 

[96sn95gt]

yes i did like the picks it didnt work so i switched the gaskets put silicon on the intake ports and colant gallorys

ok i started it,it still misses a lil,but i think the spark plugs are f"ed up from the other gaskets so i got to get a tune up

all you needed with the PI gaskets was on the coolant ports ill show you pics!

Use the PI gaskets and only put the silcion the amount and where it shows in the pictures! I have had mine on for about 3 months now and 1000 miles! no leaks or anything bad yet!

well do it again! you will have much more problems with the NPI gaskets and silicon everywhere where as with the PIs you just have to use a little bit of silicon! what type of silicon did you use?

next weekend i should do pi cams am i still gonna have a dead spot at 5000rpm and will my npi springs hold the 505/535 lift

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

are you doing stock PI cams? If so the springs will hold the abuse, but your dead spot will be gone! it should pull all the way to 5800 with the cams
