Heat crossover ????

I should have mentioned it’s a small block. I wish the owner would have used paper gaskets but he didn’t. So I’m kinda married to the steel shim gaskets. Otherwise I have to mill the intake to fit and I don’t want to reinvent the wheel to put on a heat shield.

You know you can't use a steel shim gasket with aluminum intake, It will always leak.
At some point sooner than later you will have a major mess on your hands.

I knew I had a copy somewhere of the 6 pack intake gasket bulletin.
