The shop manual says to clean cyl head and manifolds flanges, install new gaskets, pilot sleeves and center cap screws with clamps loosely. My question is, should I use some hi temp gasket maker or such to hold the gaskets in place while positioning the manifolds assembly or do they go on dry just as they came from the package? Also as the assembled manifolds are heavy, any other hard earned tips will be appreciated. Thank you.

I did add a few dabs just to hold the gasket in place while assembling working alone.
Torque in sequence to get a good seal, heat box and manifold.
Good luck | | |
