Pretty clever way to do that. So what are the measurements exactly? I see numbers that look like .630" ; that is over 1/2 inch. Is .630" actually .063"???? How thick is the gasket by itself?
Did you just set the intake on the heads and center it and press is down by hand? Or did you torque it in place? How big was the gap between the end of the intake and the china wall if it was torqued down?
