upper intake manifold
I received the wrong upper intake manifold gasket and I would really like to get my T2 back together. I was wondering if it is possible to just omit the gasket and use gasket maker instead.

I have on my own cars but never customers cars, just need to be careful with the sealant sqeezing out.
I have also made them using gasket paper, but that can take a few minutes.

You ain't never lied! I didn't have a gasket when I needed to remove my UIM and I have been using RTV (on top of a 95% intact petrified gasket) for a while now. Its gotten pretty thick and I'm pretty sure its the cause of a vac leak I can't seem to find. It worked great the first few times though

Thanks guys. I do appreciate your help.
There aren't any dealers really close to me. The closest is about 45 minutes away. Still, I think I will call around and see if I can find one. If not, I'll try the copper RTV.
