I am about to put the 3500 top on my 3400 bottom and want to make sure I RTV all the right spots. Does someone have any pics to share with the locations that need the extra seal help.
Thanks in advance

No extra RTV at the seams where the LIM and heads meet or at the UIM heads corners??
Thanks

yes there is, there are instructions in the gasket kit that show where. and there is probably a thread here somewhere also.
