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

sorry Scott if my post bothers you,i haven't seen it a million times,and wanted input,what i did was order gaskets,if i need i have,if i don't i won't,as a weekend project,my plan is to get out in the garage,have everything i could need in reach,be cruising by evening,not wishing i had asked before starting my project,where you didn't and it almost cost you a motor,hence my post.
