IIRC, the Best Gasket manifold gasket didn't need any trimming but the Fel Pro did around the mounting studs.
The Fel Pros worked and sealed fine once I fitted them correctly. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | I used a Remflex thick gasket got from Summit, no goop to apply been fine. And it's one long gasket vs. short pieces. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rfl-2027
