hey i used high temp rtv copper gasket to seal the lower and upper intake runners. I used a regular gasket to the head from the manifold. I wanna know if i should take it off and re gasket it(all of it) I'm afraid of it blowing and getting into my intake or blowing near the coolant hole and blowing my motor. Anyone know if this is safe? I put alot of it. I didn't find the gasket untill i put the manifold on. How long do you think i can ride this out?

so no one knows if this is good enough? I guess no one has ever used this? i guess i'll just buy the gasket. Anyone know if those thermal gaskets really do anything??

ive seen a lot of honda guys dyno before and after with just a change to plastic intake manifold gaskets and it shows nothing but gains.
