Default Re: Penny in my block

I just put my engine back together, using a Canadian aluminum intake. I used .010 SS shims over the risers, on top of the gasket. With temps in the mid-60's, it takes a solid 5 minutes before I can get off the choke and drive. The carb is ice cold! Going to pull the shims and drill about 5/16" holes in them, try that.
