Took them out and it closed gap a lot, should I just use RTV instead of the gaskets? The gap on the valve cover rail didn't change much but without the end gaskets the gap between heads and intake closed a bunch.

Tabs are good ports line up and valve cover rails are good. Just seems like a lot of gap.

Have a bbm iron block, BBM aluminum heads, Blue thunder intake, when I put intake on with gaskets sitting in place, I can get a .035 feeler gauge between heads and intake on both sides. Question is is this normal? I tightened intake down and it closed gap that I can see, does intake and heads come together that much with torquing intake?

what would be a good intake gasket to use for med riser head port size (BBM) heads? Was going to order the felpros, not so sure if an alternate is better.
