Surely there must be some gains to be had on a none BT engine! If your getting equal cylinder filling then the engine should run smoother as well as gain 5 - 10 ponys
looks great anyway! Waiting for Yumann to fit the one he was to draw a conclusion

You want to fit a Phenolic spacer by EVOshield from what bill has been saying as the powergaskets are a really poor fit! EVOshield is also more effective in keeping the inlet manifold cool!Yumann said:Does anyone know if the power gaskets are reusable?
I have a cheapy £3 oe gasket or should i put a power gasket on?
Dont want to spend £45+ on a gasket that has to be scraped once i get head work.
Chhers guys.

Is the Phenolic spacer reusable? cause ill be getting some head work in the not to distant furture. And dont want to waste the money when i can get it fitted later.
Yumann said:I dont understand why they have 8 hex bolts and 2 stud and nuts that pertrude quite a fair bit.
ibizacupra said:Cos they help dowel on the manifold, which helps fitting.![]()

Quite a good idea actually![]()
ibizacupra said:*TIP*
Wash down the area around the inlet manifold before you do the swap to ensure no dirt falls into inlet.

Any updates on this one? The manifold looks very promisingYumann said:Cheers guys i might just fit it up tomrrow if the weather is good.
Any special way of tightening the bolts eg. like when doing cylinder head gasket?
