This is the paperwork that came with my brand new Action Plus. Mine didn't sit correctly either. Too much of a gap between the head and the manifold. I talked to my neighborhood speed shop and he said to "just bolt it up, it should be fine". I used the thick gaskets and still had trouble getting it to seal. Never could get the water jacket to not seep. I bought a RPM Air Gap and it went together perfectly. Anyone wanna buy a gently used Action Plus?
Was this the same way yours misaligned? Just got a wieand stealth and trying to solve a problem too... manifold seems to set too deep or narrow, not getting good port coverage even with the .060” gaskets
