Slant 6 intake/Exhaust Install

Exhaust back-ribs stand out too far for the Al-Offie. Separate Ex/Int Mani's, clean surfaces on 3-bolt Hold-Together.
1. Tighten 3 mate-bolts to 3Lbs (no gasket). This give a base as to 'Where You're At.
2. Straight-Edge across Face of all 12 ports - rubber hammer runners to try a Face-depth alignment.
3. Toss on the gasket. Use nylon bolts on Ex-Mani@both ends to hold gasket.
4. Straight-Edge bottom of all ports - Establish How Much Higher the Int has to be raised.
5 Trial-Fit CARBON-IMPREGNATED GASKET MATERIAL 2mm - STACK AS NEEDED https://www.ebay.com/itm/GRAPHITE-coated-HIGH-TEMPERATURE-GASKET-MATERIAL- 300mm-x-214mm-x-2mm-A4/293257957116?hash=item4447894efc:g:cf8AAOSwd4tUH2LL
DO NOT USE the flimsy steel gasket - rarely does the height on ALUMINUM/CAST align.
IF YOU ARE 'CLOSE' BUT STILL NOT SATISFIED # FINAL 3-BOLT TORQUE-DOWN THEN TAKE
THE MARRIED INT/EX TO A MACHINE SHOP AND HAVE BOTH 'FACED' TRUE.
Takes Me 2-3 hours & 4 cups of Joe.
