I see two different kinds of intake runner gaskets for my 350 one has a blue seal around the intake and water ports. And one does not have the blue seal.

I assume that if I order the ones without that blue seal I use permatex and if I order the ones with the blue seal i install them dry?

I have used the regular (non blue seal) ones in the past and permatexed both sides.

If I get the blue stripe ones do I install them with the blue bead facing the manifold and only permatex the head side???

Anyone know?
