Ive noticed that they only have two bolts that individually bolt to the block. the rest share one bolt for two sides. this seems to me like an unefficient form of keeping your manifolds tight and in place. am i right? anyone have good/bad input for me on this? | | |

It comes with having the intake and exhaust on the same side of the block, leaving nowhere to put enought bolts in to hold the manifold to the head. If you're having problems with leaking, smear a bead of ultracopper rtv on the gasket before assembling, and leaving it sit for 24 hours to cure before starting.
