Guys,

This weekend I will be installing my new Rockwell intake. I have seen that some are gluing the gasket to the cylinder heads in order to ensure the gasket stays in place when setting the intake.
The glue some are using is "Gorilla Snot" as seen in the below link. I assume he used the 3M brand.

So the question I have is why not use RTV to hold it in place? Also if using glue as mentioned above how long should you wait until installing the intake?

Thanks,
Jon
