I am assembling a 67 350 HP engine and am having difficulty installing the intake manifold. I purchased an intake manifold gasket kit from Long Island Corvette because the gaskets in this kit are supposed to be shaped correctly. With the gaskets in place, the bolts securing the manifold to the heads do not line up. Without the gaskets in place, the bolts line up. The holes in the manifold are clean with no burrs. The manifold surfaces are flat. The mating surfaces on the heads are also flat. The gaskets that fit between the head and intake have raised faces around the openings. The originals do not.
Could the new gaskets be too thick? Any other ideas?
BTY,The head gaskets are steel and the manifold to head gaskets seem to be a little too long because the right rear does not line up with the square depression on the rubber gasket that fits on the cylinder case.
Thanks for the help.
