FAST actually recommends using RTV on their intake ports to seal them???

IMHO, that's a horse **** answer to a manufacturing problem.

That's what I did. All the way around before assembling the halves.

i sealed the upper half for nitrous use, but the OEM gaskets on the bottom side sealed to the heads just fine.
