fel pro manifold gasket
Fel-Pro ms 90123...........had them on my car before, so i bought them again........seems the only way they will work is to flip one of them over..........when i pulled them off, didnt pay much attention at the time............does this seem about right for you guys that used these..................both are the same, stamped 90123 R 5
Thanks for any info Rich |

Don't try to glue them. Use the grommets to hold them in place. Not a real need for the wax either (although it will not hurt anything) the blue coating is Teflon.

Oh...
Maybe a couple of dabs of RTV on each gasket. Let it dry, obviously...

I like Pam or equivalent cooking spray lightly coating gaskets if you think you’re going to be removing it often

Should they always be put on dry?

I like to put a little sealer just around the water crossover holes... probably not needed though.

This is where Gasgacinch shines. Apply to both the head and gasket surfaces and wait to tack up, then set the gasket in place. Get it right the first time since the two surfaces will stick immediately. The good thing about Gasgacinch is the gasket will peal back off leaving a slight residue in a few areas that can be easily rubbed off with the fingers. Sort of a rubber cement for automotive use.
I always use Ultra Grey around the coolant holes and that pretty well dooms the gasket for reuse. If I don't trust the ability of the manifold surfaces to totally seal, I'll cheat and apply a very light coat of Ultra Grey around the edge of the ports to fill in any possible gaps. Kind of penny wise and pound foolish in worrying about saving the gasket for reuse.
