Gray Ford engine block with Permatex Right Stuff and E6000 adhes…

A quick test of the crankcase showed a MASSIVE leak, which I quickly traced to the new Mahle/Victor MS15202W intake gaskets. I'm not sure why they didn't seal, but I pulled them out & bought another set. This time, I'm using E6000 instead of Indian Head shellac, and I'm putting it all along both sides of the gaskets. I'm still using RightStuff for the end seals. Some of the bolts will get E6000; others get blue threadlocker.
