is it safe to use hondabond as a gasket for the intake manifold.

Safe, yes. Smart, no. Effective, no.

A FelPro Intake Gasket Set is very cheap.

WOW! What were you doing with the intake manifold off if you clearly had no idea what you were doing? If I may ask... just so I know when your motor 'splodes in a couple weeks.

Genuine intake gaskets aren't expensive..... :nono:

Felpro is alright as long as it has the silicone o ring for the coolant line. OEM is the way too go like Ian stated. I'd use copper spray as an added security.

PS: Stone is good also AJUSA.

oem is just the reg gasket with no o ring for coolant. oem fel pro they allwork but silicone will prolly blow out.

OEM does have a sealing ring around the coolant passage through the lower intake manifold flange...

well fuck me(please excuse my xmas eve drunkness) even the fel pro has the sealing ring.

i bought a stone 7mgte gasket set on ebay for only like $170 shipped. Thats pretty cheap compare to oem toyota.

Yep, and while it's needed, it still sucks as you have to get the old stuff off or you risk warping, or more than likely cracking the lower manifold.

And still far in excess of buying the actual gasket needed from Toyota.
