Gday Andrew Luke's has a stock, off the rack, 200B inlet mani gasket trimmed closely to suit across the top of the inlets and it stays leak free. I trimmed it firstly into an upside down "V", using snips, with the point right at the top of the inlet hole, then trimmed out the sides of the "V" to match the hole shape I guess it depends on exactly how high you drilled the hole for the injector to squirt.
If the inlet hole is too high to leave enough stock gasket to seal, then worst case scenario, you may need to weld a strip of aluminum across the top of each inlet runner and file it flush to give you more surface area and fabricate a gasket from a blank. Second option would be to use some gasket goo around that area of the inlets. Alternatively, have a look at an aftermarket gasket designed for extractors, these have more crush to allow for sealing slight misalignments in the exhaust manifold plates, and are usually larger around the outside. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Greenbury" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, 29 January 2004 14:46 PM Subject: EFI L series manifold gasket > Hi everyone, > > Im having trouble getting my recently installed L18 efi manifold to seal > - I used an L20 mani gasket with the top port section cut out for the > injectors.
