Sorry to be such a pest with so many fussy little questions.
The two lower intake manifold screws on my 40352D pass first through the lower part of the starter mounting bracket. When I removed them, one had a red fiber washer and the other had red silicone caulk, and they both had star-type lock washers. I guess I can see where there might be some leakage because of the bracket, but it sure doesn't seem like a person should have to caulk those screws, does it? Maybe the fiber washers should go between the manifold and the bracket and the star washers under the screw head???
Thanks!
