1989 L98

my engine builder had a problem bridging the 2 heads with the super ram manifold, so my shop redid it

and now i think it is yet again not sealing, is that "V" area further apart with those heads that my 113 stock aluminum heads or stock heads for that matter?

has anyone heard of using double intake gaskets to address this problem if even there is a problem?

are they vortec heads or is the intake vortec? If one is vortec the other has to be vortec.

Don't know about the SR but my AFR Eliminators had no issues sealing with my TPiS base.

For the intake manifold gasket I used Fel-Pro 1205.
For the head gaskets I used Fel-Pro 1094.

It fit right the first time.
