Subject: [Fot] Spitfire 1500 manifold gasket

From: Philip Gott via Fot <[email-masked]>

Amici;
An FOT friend is having trouble sealing the intake manifold gasket to his Spitfire cylinder head (1500 head). Moss sells those nice graphite Hi Po gaskets for the wet sleeve 4 and The 6 cylinder engines, but not the Spitfires. Does anyone know of a source of these for the 1500, or if the 6-cylinder gasket will work, and if so, which one?
Regards,
Phil Gott

This is the one I used and it worked well.  I always coated both sides with n=
ever seize so it wouldn=E2=80=99t stick too bad to the head and manifolds wh=
en I had to remove them.

You can by Remflex half sheets and cut them to fit with a sharp knife.  
That material is thick and compressible and hides a multitude of sins on 
the sealing surfaces.  That's what I do for my TR-4 since the pre-cut 
ones for the TR-4 have too large intake holes for my intake manifold.

fact that they make TR4 gaskets (albeit a bit too big), Tony. =C2=A0Nice to=
 know also about the BPNE gasket too, Chuck. =C2=A0Thanks! =C2=A0Two good o=
