Intake manifold gasket.

Im pulling off my intake manifold this weekend. I ordered a replacement gasket, do I need to get gasket sealer as well? Thanks,

No, just make sure you clean the old one off completely. I've found that a razorblade, acetone and a scotchbrite pad work well for this (sandpaper will work, but the sand comes off and I wouldn't want abrasive particles getting sucked into my cylinders). RTV is used instead of gaskets in some places (oil pan, timing chain cover for example). Just put the new gasket on and torque the bolts down to spec.
