I just ordered a new intake and installed it. The new intake came with pre set gaskets. When I installed the manifold I only used rtv on the four corner cylinder heads not on all the others I have the manifold torked. To spec and sat over night do I have to start over or will I be ok to finish the job and fire her up. Also I didn't put rtv on the new manifold. At all.

Did the intake come from ford? Call the company you bought it from to see if its the wrong one or if youre supposed to update the bracket as well
