Which intake gaskets did you use? I bought my MR used and put off buying the gasket till now. Thanks.

 

Fel-pro 1205. It's got a slightly bigger intake runner opening than the 1204. What heads are you using?

If you need a thicker gasket because of runner alignment problems, use the Mr.Gasket #106 which is .125" thick as opposed to .060" thick.

The heads are Canfield 197 cc Steve. Thanks for your quick response to my question.

 

Do you know what the dimensions of the intake runners of your Canfield 197's are? That will be the determining factor.

I'm thinking the 1205 will be what you need.

A stock 1204 Fel-pro (most common) is 1.23" by 1.99" by .060 thick.

1.28" by 2.09" by .060" thick. are the dimensions of the Fel-pro 1205's

1.31" by 2.10" by .125" thick. are the dimensions of the Mr Gasket 106's

The 1.23"x1.99" are the dimensions you would find on a stock type head, although obviously some aftermarket heads (especially smaller CC) still retain the stock dimensions in the runner area.

I believe your Canfields are a larger runner design, so you want to MAKE SURE that you use a gasket with a larger opening to prevent reversion. Thus, I mention the use of either the 1205 Fel-pro, or 106 Mr. Gasket.
