Okay, so I pulled my intake off since I had the motor out anyway so's I could polish it up real nice. So there's this rubbery gunk between the intake and the block. Is that regular old RTV silicone or some kind of special blend?

 

It's RTV.

 

its rtv used on teh front and back of the intake.....

 

Thanks!

 

Most of the time, depending on what brand intake gaskets you get, it will supply a tube. Otherwise I just use either Hondabond or the orange rtv.
