- Today I wanted to put a wrench threw my windshield, I'm trying to put my edelbrock performer intake manifold back on my 360 V8 and the front and rear gasket not to mention the pain in the butt huge metal gasket keep sliding around. Do i need that huge gasket? Ill i could find about it is that it was made to stop the oil from splashing, and keeps the motor cooler. The end gaskets slide out as well when i torque the intake down to the recommended 45ft/lbs. What would you recommend using? or What remedy did you use to make it easy.
