1995 intake manifold gasket
I see everyone say to use the Felpro MS98002T gaskets on the 1996 and newer engines. Unfortunately the bolt holes wouldn't line up with the holes on this gasket. I can't seem to find a gasket of that kind of construction for the 1995 4.3L. Does anyone know if such a beast exists?

Yeah, I ended up grabbing the MS95832's the other day. I was just hoping someone might know of a new style metal gasket instead of the super old composite style.
Not quite sure why the MS95832 don't have a divider seal between the 2 intake ports that are right next to each other. I know the original composite gasket did. Is it not necessary to isolate the intake ports from each other?

I have a feeling I may need to use some rtv around some of the coolant passages because of the amount of corrosion and pitting on the manifold. Not sure if that is a good or bad idea but that was my first thought on how to get things to seal back up.
I will post some pics of the manifold later tonight.

I've seen worse - felpros should seal it - if worried light coat of RTV, I perfer dry - you wasn't gettin much water flow tho, good luck with cleaning all that out - looks like a gel type stop leak was used or was that a paper towel - lol

Ok, thanks. A guy at work said he thinks he has some of the 3m bristle discs so I will probably borrow the fine one and try to clean things up a little better. Still think I will be putting some rtv on there just to make sure. I don't want to be doing this again any time soon.
Those are just paper towels, I never put any stop leak in there. Don't trust the stuff and don't want to deal with the potential aftermath.
