Sounds like you have the wrong gaskets, perhaps for 216?

I think BC59 is probably spot on. In addition to the stock type intake/exhaust gaskets, you might also want to consider the one piece Rimflex gasket. Excellent, really excellent in sealing the intake/exhaust.

The Rimflex are a little pricey, but I just installed one on my 261, seems like a very solid fit. I've also heard using 2 paper gaskets is acceptable if the mounting surface has not been machined perfectly flat.

Patrick,

My guess is that by "paper gasket", you are referring to the standard manifold gasket (metal over thick material)?

get the remflex you will never regret it. We used every conceivable type of gasket and/or sealer for the generators I worked with in alaska, Then remflex came along, and my whole life changed.
