Carb installation

[chitwnvw]

I am about to install my dual carbs. I have 4 of the smaller aluminum crush gaskets and 4 of the larger paper gaskets in my kit. What's the order of installation? ie head. then paper gasket, then aluminum, then paper again, then manifold.

Note: I have some sort of Webers made in Brasil.

Also, is sealant of any kind a good idea?

I like to use just the fiber ones between the manifolds and heads. I coat them with bearing grease instead of goop. That way in the future when you remove them they come apart easily and 9 times out of 10 you can reuse the gaskets with a fresh coat of grease.

If your manifold surfaces are clean and smooth and appear to join the head precisely, the aluminum gaskets are your best temperature resistant seal between the head and the manifold. The paper gaskets are useful for problem issues. Permatex Aviation the brown goop is a helpful assist.
I can't answer your assembly sequence except to say that 4 aluminum gaskets comes out to one-per-port, as do the paper. I think you have a choice here, not a mandatory Use All.
