Question about 4027596 heads...

What you see in the center of the head and where the intake meet is the top of the exhaust cross over passage that heats the intake up for all year/weather driving. That half moon shape that is exposed is something that should be there and is OK and just fine as it is.

You do not need a different intake!

OMG, ya know, This mention/question comes up several times a year. It should be a freaking sticky with 8X10 glossy color pictures and commentary in 40 different languages!
LMAO!!!! Maybe get Rusty to do it. Everybody love a Southern drawl.
I wonder if he'll do a video? LMAO!
