the true reason the red dragon breathes fire
well on my 4th attempt to seal the intake manifold to stop her from spewin oil out the china wall i got too pissed and thought i couldnt seal a intake any more
wrong you talk to the right people and you figure things out since my heads were shaved a little bit and have that different bolt pattern it leaves a big gap on the front and rear china wall which i can quite litteraly move the gasket if i use it up and down
also the damn valve covers are leaking still cause they are warped when i checked them last night and they werent cut straight oh wel they were free
so final decision im pulling the heads again and having the machine shop make the sealing surface correct again

Heck, in that case, just send me the intake, I'll grind her down to fit!!!!
Did the MAF get there? I resent it on Monday or Tuesday with Jason's headers?

Fine then................
I will take the S.R off your hands. Sandblast it, redue it to my picky specs then have it powdercoated satin black to match my rims....oh, and have my nice polished valve covers dipped in the black stuff as well.
