No, not a "good" product but there is a way that can stop the leak temporarily. I used a very thin smear of black RTV applied with a razor blade edge (let it dry) on the side that mates to the head.

WARNING:

Any sealers on intake manifolds will dissolve if hit by gasoline, so if the carbs flood you have leaks again.

Best to replace manifolds if available.
