is there a better alternative to just the paper gaskets ? if so who does them ?
please excuse my noobiness if there more than sufficient its just you hear of people blowing welds on plenums and you gotta wonder how long the gaskets hold up, maybe a thin smear of gasket sealant each side of it ?

i just gasket glue mine fine so leaks
the cracks in the plenums can come from resonate frequencies or hairline stress raisers

theres nothing wrong with factory gaskets aslong as all mating surfaces are flat

is that in addition to the gasket or you just smear this on both surfaces?
nicksvl mentioned bluemaxx im guessing greymaxx is made by the same company or is it the in thing to add extra x's on products these days
nah man permaseal, acl there all the same really.. iv got a permaseal one in my car, acl in both my brothers cars and all 3 are fine dude and thats without the sealer.. sealer doesnt have to be used but it doesnt hurt..
I used Hylomar on several gaskets when i changed the head on my VL, unfortunately i forgot to install the 10mm bolt on the front corner of the head and had to take the inlet manifold off, after ten minutes that manifold gasket was stuck fast!
