Re: Plenum Port + Standard Gaskets = Bad Idea
I would not use glue for the simple fact that I'd hate having to scrape it off every time I put new gaskets on. What a pain in the butt.

Re: Plenum Port + Standard Gaskets = Bad Idea
Those fenolic spacers are interesting (might have to look at that if my gasket problem returns)... I heard a rumour that the cooler Plenum/air temp is worth 20HP?

Re: Plenum Port + Standard Gaskets = Bad Idea
They do make the plenum much cooler. But not 20 hp cooler.

You know that checking relieves all doubt. We can only be guessing till the tale of the straight edge is told. Not pointing any fingers just stating what "I" would do. You do great work and you would NOT have let anything like this slip past you

Re: Plenum Port + Standard Gaskets = Bad Idea
Wow, that is interesting. Because both heads and plenum are ported on mine and I trimmed to match and although very thin in the middle and no glue or adhesive never had a problem like that. I blocked off and bypassed the coolant so that may have helped. I trimmed OEM gaskets though. Glad to hear you got it resolved.

Re: Plenum Port + Standard Gaskets = Bad Idea
