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 ? |

they are the same bolt pattern and they will fit fine. the FI gaskets are readily available at all the usual parts outlets ...
*if* your heads are opened up, you should port match the holes in the gaskets to match your head-intakes ... i run them on my car and the carbs stay nice and cold all the time ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Andy |
