TB spacer install

BigJimGTP · 04-10-2005

Should I install my tb spacer in the following manner...

gasket --> spacer --> RTV --> TB

This is what I was planning but I want to make sure I'm going the right thing before I tear into it.

TIA

You will do RTV, spacer, gasket then TB.

So would this not work then... TB-gasket-spacer-gasket-sc.....is it better to use RTV b/t the spacer and sc instead of a gasket, due to coolant being blocked up against it?

With the garilte spacer they will leak like a civ if you don't use the RTV. The aluminum ones should seal perfect with the gasket but I still recommend using the RTV on the back side.
