Now as my memory is coming back, I had to whittle/file a contour in the manifolds over the spark plugs in order to get a plug socket on the plugs in some locations.

Ted,
If I understand correctly, you favor no gaskets when using cast iron exhaust manifolds on cast iron heads. John Mummert recommends (4) 1 1/2" bolts and (3) 2" bolts to install his manifolds. Would this not using a gasket change this length?

When installing intake manifolds without a gasket, how would you block off the port under the carberator to minimize heat damage to the paint on the intake manifold when not using a gasket?
I don't think anyone is referring to the intake manifold. I think we're just talking about the exhaust manifold aren't we?

Your right, I got off track on that one. Looks like I hijacked my own thread. I will clean that post up with the "edit option".

Would this not using a gasket change this length? Bolt length will not change if gaskets are not used. A thin film of red high temperature RTV in lieu of a gasket wouldn't hurt. Here's the link to a previous thread discussing the truck exhaust gaskets which did not use any sealer on them. http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/FindPost5884.aspx

Thanks Ted! I have a really hard time with the search options and posting pictures with the new software. If I could navigate thru the search better, I would not have to post so many "new topics" that are already covered.
