I'm about to install the headers and intake on my 261. Finally. I'm using felpro gaskets. Should I use gasket sealer?

Clean and dry before install is all you need.

I use a little high heat sealer on exhaust ports and very small amount on the intake ports. The smoother the surfaces are, the less you need.

I am a believer in a skim coat on both sides of gasket when installing headers of a high heat silicone sealer. Exhaust gaskets will exploit the smallest leaking area and make it bigger over time. Seal the gasket fibers and it will prevent the later leaks.
