Aussie, with this talk about blocking the hear crossover, I have noticed on the Cusso Bill web site that there are intake manifold gaskets with the heat riser crossover blocked. Are such gaskets available north of the equator?

Tee-Bird.com sells a "restricted" intake gasket under part # 9433A.I dont know if restricted means totally blocked or just small opening.Description says to prevent paint being burned off the intake manifold.a phone call would answer the question.I just used thin tin to block mine.Works the same as a special gasket would.

Tom, Nope, WWII era diesel electric submarine. The 405 (sorry about that number) . USS Sea Owl. No W engines here. I does have 4 1600 hp Fairbanks 10 cylinder inline Diesels though. Each 10 cylinder engine had two cranks, 20 pistons and rods and NO valves!!  edit, wrong number meant 405. And the Becuna ss319 is the museum boat. Memory is going, going gone!
