Funny you should mention this. We stopped at an offroad shop that advertised
K&N filters and while showing the owner the beast, he mentioned that Jeeps
had the same problem with intake/header thickness. He let me see a manifold
gasket from chrysler designed to help solve the problem. It was a standard
flat manifold gasket that came with a set of smaller gaskets that fit on the
thinner manifold areas to help exqualize things. I was thinking of
'sacrificing' a gasket or two to see if this fix would help on my car!

Subject: Header thickness
The exhaust header I just bought from one of our vendors is slightly thinner
than the intake manifold. I am wondering if I should grind down the washers
to create even pressure, or if its not necessary?
Also, any recommendation for manifold gasket sealant? I have some copper hi
temp spray stuff I was going to use.
