Hi All,
I fired up my engine today to check to see if my
header was sealing better using silicon as a gasket as per Lynn Hanover's
suggestion when I noticed there is exhaust gas coming from ports just below the
outboard intake ports (see photo). I had not plugged these when I hacked
up the original 6 port intake manifold assuming there was some type of external
EG valve that routed gas here in it original form. Is there really an
internal passage from the exhaust ports to these ports and what has the rest of
you done to block them off? I think I'll put some 0.030
stainless sheet between the intake and the block unless someone has a
better idea.
Looks like I'll be making it down to Tracy's fly-in
(flying commercial :-( ) and I'm looking forward to putting some
faces to the names.
Thanks
Perry Casson Glastar/13B
