    I have found a few times now I end up with the base of the blower at the front keeps leaking. I have it silicone now to get me through this past weekend. I have been running the green gasket that I think is 1/32". anyone else experience this? should I just put a new gasket with silicone? or is there a thicker gasket? or rubber gasket? 14-71 36 lbs of boost this past weekend.

    Did you lap the manifold with a lapping plate ?

    Can you have the manifold "o" ringed and do away with the gasket?

    Be sure and have the top of the manifold ground on with a deck or cylinder head milling machine. We had ours done and was warped .025 in the middle . Man what a difference.
