I'm trying to figure out the best way.
I just went through a top-end buildup on my 390 and here's how I did the intake gaskets:
Currently, my 390 smokes at idle and on decel. I think it has to do with the gaskets as it seems to be getting progressively worse. Just not too motivated to pull the intake off again. On my last setup, I went with a bead of RTV on the front and rear and still had this smoking problem. Odds are that the surfaces just haven't been clean enough and the intake wasn't placed carefully enough onto the motor. Back to the drawing board!
Good luck.
