Not sure what engine you are working on but if you are using a new gasket there is no need for silicone unless the directions included with the new gasket require it.

What is the plenum gasket?

The plenum gasket is a sealing component located between the intake manifold (or plenum) and the engine's cylinder head. Its primary function is to prevent air and fluid leaks, ensuring that the engine receives the correct air-fuel mixture for optimal performance. A faulty plenum gasket can lead to vacuum leaks, poor engine performance, and increased emissions. Regular inspection and replacement are important for maintaining engine efficiency.

After beginning to produce white smoke from the exhaust a 98 Bonneville dies and would not start again what could be causing this?

White smoke is coolant in the cylinders. Died and won't restart cause the spark plugs are shorted with coolant. If you keep trying to start it without fixing it you could bend a rod! Most likely it is a failed intake manifold gasket or intake plenum gasket or the intake plenum itself. Don't drive the car cause if it is the plenum leaking coolant into the engine it can fill a cylinder with coolant and do major damage when you try to start it. No way to know for sure which of the three it is without pulling the plenum. If you're pulling that you might as well change the intake manifold gasket too. Could be a bad head gasket

How to change the rear spark plugs on Camry 2002 V6?

You have to remove the throttle body/air intake plenum to get to the rear plugs. I believe the plenum is supported with two or three stays which are hard to see. You will need a new gasket for the plenum/intake manifold interface.One post on Toyota Nation Forum says that it can be done without removing the plenum. I think he is skilled at beating the clock at a repair shop.
