 Just about to refit the intake manifold, the carbs mounting plate and the carbs.
 My question regards the gasket seals as shown in the attached diagram.
 I seem to remember that a smear of copper silicone is recommended as well as new gaskets but I can't remember if this applies to all the gaskets?
 I'm guessing the mounting plate to the intake manifold?
 Can someone please advise.
 Thanks in advance.

I generally grease all the intake gaskets as I think it helps them seal better and makes the carbs easier to remove without damaging the gaskets.

That is what I advise on 1600 set up but normally wellseal works on 1300 as there is more gasket around the port area.
