Small runner intake gaskets

Ditto on cometic cutting a gasket for you with your own part number.
Matches perfectly if you do your homework and send either a detailed cad drawing or a perfect template.
However, unless anything has changed I wasn?t at all happy with the gasket material they use. It?s quite hard and doesn?t compress very well. Given that there is normally a slight variation in the angle between head and manifold no matter how careful you are with your angle mill calcs, measurements and execution you can wind up with coolant weepers down into the galley you won?t see. Plenty or rtv around the coolant passages is a must!
