Default Re: Ported Intake Gasket Woes

My intake seriously sucks, you can see what it did to the gasket. Just the one spot where I developed a leak. When I used std thickness gaskets in the past - had a much worse problem - with leaks on both sides.

I have been using contact cement to attach the gaskets to the plenum. I've cleaned and lightly sanded both mating surfaces and will attach dry this time, and will re-torque after a few temp cycles.

If this doesn't work - I'll experiment with the rubber gaskets.

The mating surfaces seem to have good planarity - don't think that is the problem
