Part 5 – Intake Gaskets. Build Notes

This note may be fairly specific to the porting on my heads/intake, but the gasket info may be of interest to other B1 head users.

I had previously bought gaskets from Koffel's Place, and those are 1.60 x 2.66. Those are smaller than the ports on my heads.
I bought these intake manifold gaskets from FlatOut Gaskets and they fit my head ports very well. They are part number 8185 and their catalog lists the size as 1.75 x 2.82
FlatOut makes lots of different gaskets, this link is to the various thicknesses of the #8185 FlatOut Gaskets 8185

The gaskets have two corners clipped, and they fit my heads with those corners on the bottom! This way, the top of the gasket aligns well with the valve cover sealing surface.
And just like the Koffel's gaskets, I need to trim the area under the bolt holes for the B1 valley plate.
