antifreeze leakIs it leaking at the top, or near the bottom where it meets the oil pan?

Ok. Top,bottom or sides of the timing cover is the antifreeze leak coming from?antifreeze leak
Never had luck with RTV, but that's just me.
Never had a problem with a paper gasket leaking anti-freeze.
I'd check the surface on the timing cover, and the block.
I've done the front and back walls both ways, I feel the new style blue rubber gasket (or whatever it is) is tons better than that cork crap from the old days.
I don't know how big your port size is, but Fel-Pro MS95952 is bigger than the stock gaskets (port size Width 1.28" x Height 1.98") and has the rubber end seals (but not quite as big as the 1262s you're currently using). It's the set for the Explorer, I use them on my ported D5AE heads.Exactly. The 1262s come with the cork, which is worthless. I get the extra gasket set just for the formed rubber molds. By the way, I am a hoarder, so if anyone needs factory intake gaskets minus the valley seals, I have at least 20 hanging on my peg board.
