Gasket Maker? no that stuff shouldn't be around any intake stuff. Not good cause it can go into the engine.

uh oh, lol, when i replaced my valve cover gaskets last week i was going to change my intake gaskets as well and I found phenolic spacers so i decided to reuse them but the guys at our shop told me i needed to use gasket sealer so instead of rtv we used a spray on gasket sealer....hope that doesnt wreck anything!!!!
