Gotta clean it for any of them sealants to work.
I use alcohol or brake parts clear to remove ALL oily residue and I too use ultra black, no leaks here and yeah.....
The intake/oil pan are sometimes a bitch to get off but its worth it.

the Ultra Grey is the strongest stuff I ever seen and I have used them all..
and your right Mark you could hold the intake down with Ultra Grey with no bolts and it would go nowhere

I hate Leaks
Ok, here is info on Valco.
Valco Cincinnati Consumer Products.
www.valco-cp.com
Look at bottom of home page to right side, "Where To Buy" for dealers.
Doug Herbert is one and so is Fowler Engines.
Silver Aluminum RTV 3 oz. is part number 71195. Great stuff. Not the same as any GE based silicone RTV.
Other products I use are:
Gellube 71756 Good areosol spray that sticks to metal.
Hylomar Gasket Maker . 2 types. Aerosol is great for copper head gaskets and blue in a tube is good for gaskets too.
Also look at the ENGINE BUILDERS kit assortment 71859
They have a variety of products you might find useful.
Of course the prices are at manufacturers suggested retail and there should be a discount almost anywhere
I buy my Valco at VSI warehouse at a good discount, but you have to be a dealer with them.
One of my customers bought a truck pulling engine from the owner of Valco and he gave us a good supply of products to try out.

Well shi*. I now have a nice leak on my intake. I about had a heart attack Saturday moring when I saw something dripping from between the head and block. After pulling the clip I found that it's leaking from the front of the intake.

i noticed that anything chrome plated doesnt seem too seal to well even with rtv..... i just use a wire brush on my bench grinder or drill and take the shine off wear the gasket and sealer goes ..... not had a leak since. my friends tell me why bother cause chrome doesnt make it go any faster.....and i tell them your right...... but it sure makes it look good .......lmao
