This subject gets beat to death

Doo a search , its been discussed a million times

However its funny how some say the paper gaskets are never needed

Really , that brand new Holley Street Dominator Intake that i installed about ten years ago almost cost me a motor - It was sucking oil so bad on the passenger side head intake ports because i failed to use the paper gaskets at all

However the Edelbrock Intakes that i installed didnt require the paper gaskets

If i was buying any intake , used , brand new , aluminum blah blah blah , i would let the intake dictate on whether i would bee using paper gaskets or not by test fitting , lining up the bolt holes etc.

Peace Scott
