Intake leaking oil back of motor

[Stangman]

Like anything else prep is key. Permatex ultra black if prep is right it wont leak. Not the regular black it has to be Ultra black.

>Let me suggest the use of Dow Corning 732. 

Same or the Ultra Black - done right for the gap it seals right up.  Only leaks if you somehow miss the bead size when you lay it down. I tried the Right Stuff on something and hated it.  It's the wrong stuff for me.  Didn't seal, porous, etc.

I am another non-believer in the Right Stuff.  After shaking the can as directed, it came out in blobs, left open gaps, sputtered in places I didn't want it, and leaked when the intake was installed.  Never again.  Wasted money and double work.  Any of the "Ultra" high temp RTVs will work much better.  Joe-JDC

Joe, was your Right Stuff in an aerosol can? The Right Stuff that I have always used was in a plastic tube, with a ratcheting pomp tool, kinda like a 1/2 size caulking gun. Never had any similar issues with that style, but I will look into the Dow Corning 732. When I was stilling working at a Toyota dealership, the sealant that we got from the parts department was either Dow Corning, or a GE item, in a squeeze tube, with a Toyota part number on a label. We used it for sealing oil pans and timing covers, worked well. Wonder if it is the same stuff.
