[Fot] TR intake gaskets

[Joe Boruch]

 At one time I removed the pins, tapped the holes in the head and installed studs in place of the pins.  I enlarged the holes in the manifold to accept the new studs.  This gives a more secure way to attach the intake manifold.  I also modified the manifold clamps so that one side is thinner to accommodate the thickness difference between the intake flanges and the header flanges.JoeB

 This is correct. The thickness of the clamping surfaces must be the same. It also helps to tighten thebottom clamp between the manifolds first. The intake will hang up on the pin between the intake ports and not let the bottom of the intake seat all the way. Sometimes the hole for the pin is too tight.
