Default what gkts do you use on a bigblock intake

For some reason i,m having a hard time getting my intake to seal properly on my 440.Ive got a set coming from sumit that has the heatblockoffs on them and they come with 4 composite gkts that go on each side.Is there any special gkt goop I should use on these?Oh yah it,s a aluminum intake.Heads have been milled .060,Intake side has been milled 0.738 .It worked good before on my other engine but this engine is a differen,t story.The block has never been milled.Thanks for your help.

Arrow Might want to

smear some machinist bluing on the intake and testfit to see whats what.Previous block obviously different.Trying to fudge it with thicker gaskets and sillycone is asking for trouble.
