Oversized Plenum gaskets
I've just ported my plenum and I need some new gaskets. They have to be bigger than stock. I know you can get stock ones and cut them open bigger, but I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy some oversized ones, maybe for the siamesed runners? Anybody know? :confused:

Re: Oversized Plenum gaskets (KYVette90)
I used the stock size ones after I REALLY opened the runners, plenum and manifold.
I placed the gaskets on the runners, used bolts, washers and nuts to hold them in place. I then used my high speed Makita grinder with a very fine tooth carbide bit to remove as much gasket material as needed.
I periodically placed the gaskets on the plenum and manifold to make sure the gasket mods were matching.
Pretty simple and worked great.
