I changed my intake manifold gaskets. Upper and lower. There is rubber seals for the end walls on the lower. It aid to put RTV on the corners. I forgot and now my engine is together mostly. Will I have a leak issue now?

Good morning,

Yes, you most likely will have a leak from that area. The sealer fills the gap between the intake gasket and the seal.

5. Apply sealer GM P/N 12346286 (Canadian P/N 10953472) or equivalent to the ends of the intake manifold seals.
6. Install the lower intake manifold seals.
