Intake Gasket Lube

Intake Gasket Lube
When re-assembling the intake, what do you use to lube the new gaskets. Do you go dry or use regular motor oil, white lithium grease, anti-sieze grease, wheel bearing grease? Is a gasket sealant required? I read some people use dish soap, armour-all and even Windex.

I use sealent on most gaskets except for the LIM to UIM gasket. I apply a little bit motor oil on this gasket so its easier to pull apart later for repairs and/or mods. The UIM pops right off leaving the gasket perfect and ready for reassembly. No it doesnt leak.

John, I use this on one side of the gasket, and put the other side on dry, it's a real bitch to get RTV off if you ever have to pull it apart again.

Hey Kevin, I don't have that stuff but I do have some of this...

I figure it will do for now. But the next time I see the spray at the store, I'll buy it.
I want a good seal, but someday I may have to take it apart again and I want to be able to clean it off easily. We'll see...
