Going to put in MrGasket Ultra Seal 5/16” VC gaskets. I did the Drivers side last summer and no leaks. I only had leaks at the VC and not on the exhaust manifold area.

i started on the pass and cleaned up the area yesterday. After cleaning it looks like there may be some leaking between the head/manifold gasket.  Thinking about re-torque the Manifold bolts (25lb), don’t want to snap one.  Looks like there is a little oil head to block bolt. Wondering if leak could be coming from head gasket or the manifold gasket?  Would a RTV be advisable in this area?

Going  to use 3M weatherstrip adhesive between the VC and the gasket.  I forgot what Derek suggest to use between thr gasket and the head.
