intake/exhaust mounting, what am I missing?
Hi, thanks for all the super information! I'm assembling the intake/exhaust, not permanent by any means. I had this intake/exhaust manifold shipped to me from a ways off. The intake and exhaust were jarred, not lined up, so that gave me reason to separate them to clean/paint.
There's a slim gap, very slim between the intake/exhaust. Perhaps someone along the line drilled out the hole next to the two barrel size, it's a 5/8 bolt and doesn't fit the new inbetween gasket hole. The pics are about as close to alignment as I can get. I'm hoping the new "good gaskets" will take up some of the slack. There's very little wiggle room between the int/exh manifolds.
A few of the pics are with the engine laying over further than 30 degrees, making it easier to temporarily install. I'm still going to have to source a few things. Mainly the front/rear exhaust things/washers, and the middle brass washer for the intake.
The studs are just screwed in finger tight~ I'll remove and seal a little later, I was just making sure they're long enough, some did seem shorter.
Though the machine shop "shaved" the intake/exhaust head, still didn't get down to take out the deterioration of the thermostat surface. I had cleaned and put on JPweld, and still need to fill a tiny spot.
This 5/8 bolt going into the exhaust manifold isn't very deep, I'd say 3/4-1" deep, so I had use washers to bring the gap between the intake/exh closer together
Am I suppose to plug this egr hole?
