This felpro leaked on both sides of the gasket, with and without permatex high temp. I don’t think the F intake compresses these metal portions around the port enough at their torque spec. They may work if the exhaust manifold was perfectly machined, not going to try and find out right now.
My logic behind putting sealer on the engine side and not the exhaust manifold side was that if I needed it I could add it later. The instructions called for none. Leaked both ways
Went back to Remflex. Used the high temp gasket maker on the exhaust manifold only. Nothing on the engine side which was really nice after I spent a lot of time cleaning it. Intake looked pretty good too. Letting it set now
The profile is the same but the Remflex is much thicker and feels softer.
