No RTV! it will eventually fail again. Buy an OEM gasket. Boltdepot.com you need (4)8mmx1.25x140mm Metric Hex head bolts. When you use a 10mm spacer they tell you to use RTV with the original bolts and the (1) OEM gasket that was there, right. When you add a secondOEM gasket, one on the bottom of the spacer and one on the top of the spacer, adding the second OEM gasket makes the original bolts too short. The (4) new bolts that I mentioned are for the (4) center, they make a square on the intake, Then there is (1)all by itself in front, where the Throttle Body is, and there is (1) all by itself in back under the wiper cowl..... The (1) in the back is the shortest, the (1) in the front is 10mm longer, and the (4) in the middle are 10mm longer than the front . You are buying (4) that are 10mm longer, so they go in the center/square, Take (1) of the original (4) center and used it for the Front near the throttle body. Take the original Front (1) and use it for the rear, under the wiper cowl, So you have (4) original bolts, (3) from the center/square and (1) from the rear, under the wiper cowl, Save them just in case you return your car to stock. I hope I've explained it.
