I've a '74 with dual webbers and the PO had put thick heat resistant gasket between the intake runner and the head. My question is do I really need it ? It's about 3/16 thick and looks like asbestos impregnated material.
The local VW guy says it's to stop the head from heating up the lower section of the intake runner and says normally they run thin intake gaskets on either side of that heat sheild gasket anyway. Any opinions ? |

The CB performance units look like they go between the Carb and intake. I was looking for a gasket between the intake and the head. Do you use the same ones on both ends?
As to using the ones that came with the FI...all that stuff is long gone with the previous owner...and aren't the intakes different for carbs and the fuel injection or is where the bolt up to the heads pretty much the same ? |
