Take an appropriate washer, cut one in half and braze, weld, or JB weld
the half to a whole one and you have a stepped washer! Make a few spares
just in case.

 Even if separate gaskets were used everything would have to be

<div dir="ltr">Listerati,
<div>Trying to get off
my rear end and make
some progress in my
long term overhaul
of FROG AYE, my 1960
Frogeye. The engine
is now a 20 over
1275 with some
porting, oversize
valves and VP-SP3
cam. I have replaced
the old 3 to one
exhaust
manifold with a
Maniflow LCB, the
intake manifold is
also by Maniflow,
for the HS-2 carbs
that came with the
car. The concern I
have is that the
flange is thicker on
the exhaust than on
the intake.Â
Torquing the
manifolds until the
exhaust just touches
the block (no gasket
for this
measurement) leaves
the intake manifold
with about 35
thousands play. Of
course, this can be
taken up in the
gasket, but that
leaves the washer on
the intake side (of
the common studs)
sitting at a
noticeable angle,
which ,if nothing
else, doesn't look
very cool. The
attached photo shows
about .035" of
feeler between the
washero and the
intake manifold
flange. The exhaust
manifold is snug.  </div>
