| Block end corks - inadequate compression |
| By Geoff McNew - 11/18/2003 6:02:19 PM; IP 66.52.140.56 |
Reinstalled my Performer RPM intake last night and I seem to have the reverse problem that most FE's can have with the cork gaskets that seal the block to intake at either end - I'm not getting enough compression, and the cork squirms...I know it's gonna blow out with any crankcase pressure at all.
The block has never been decked and the heads are new Edelbrocks. The head-to-intake is flush at the top so the valve covers can seal perfectly, so I dunno about shaving the intake manifold faces to drop the intake, since it'd just create a stagger at the valve cover surface.
The corks in both Felpro & Victor Renz sets I tried look to be a skinny 3/16"? If I cut some gaskets out of 0.200" sheet cork, that would solve it, or is that getting too thick?
Has anyone else had this problem / cure? |
