    When installing an aluminum intake, do you use flat or lock washers under the bolts? Do the bolts go into the water jacket and need sealant on the threads? Thanks Dave Miller

    No matter what the caps crew you use or if you choose use studs and nuts (12 point look cool) put never seize on them where they will come in contact with the aluminum.
