Intake Manifold gap?
I'm currently building my engine and ready to install the intake (HSR). I taped the manifold gaskets in place and layed the intake in place to make sure there were no fittment issues. The bolt holes all line up, but I'm worried about the gap at the china wall. It's supposed to be between .060 and 0.120 but mine is around 0.148. Is this gonna be a problem and if not whats the best way to seal it when the gap is that large? Thanks for the help.

Re: Intake Manifold gap?
Don't want to highjack but I just pulled mine and placed new gaskests on and did RTV on the China walls with the rubber selant and more RTV not alot but enough to keep it on. Should I see the Blue Gaskets along the head.
Also in reading I found that I had to put RTV around the intake ports. If I didn't do this will it hurt the install.
