Intake gasket
#5
With proper crush and PARALLEL surfaces and a SKIM of sealer that is allowed to set before use, this should never happen. If the surfaces are NOT parallel, the gasket will have more tendency to squeeze out the 'big' end whether going outbound or inbound.

If you are running a vacuum pump, it will suck in. If not, the crankcase pressure will cause it to push oill out. The only thing I use on the ends to seal the intake after make sure it and the block are clean of any oil/water is Right Stuff from peratex.
