Exhaust/Intake Manifold Spacer
What effects, if any, would the engine have if I put in a spacer between the Exhaust/Intake Manifold and the side of the block?
I am unable to install my exhaust manifold heater cover since I had the motor rebuild. The block was faced in the exhaust/intake manifold area as was TWO exhaust manifolds. Any idea's? |

Effectively none if the spacer does not set up any reversion effects. Port matching is the key there along with a way to pin it using manifold studs or ??. Can the manifold cover be machined a little thinner as an alternate method to allow it to fit. |

Re: Exhaust/Intake Manifold Spacer
I was thinking of that Brent BUT as of now, I haven't been able to determine how much I would have to take. Thanks for your response and suggestion!

Re: Exhaust/Intake Manifold Spacer
Can you try two gaskets to see how much you need to take off then take that much off the exhaust heater

Mr. Gasket makes a very thick gasket intended for headers..

Re: Exhaust/Intake Manifold Spacer
Instead of all that work, why not just grind some of the bottom of the heater cover away?

Re: Exhaust/Intake Manifold Spacer
Sorry. I didn't see that was already suggested.
