There is a problem solver gasket ...click... Good luck | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,847 | my only question on that gasket is how do they deal with the difference in size of the intake ports? I know with regular gaskets you have to specify 216 or 235, as they are different. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 93 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 93 | Great youtube video, real nice job on your ride too.
