<DIV><SPAN class=401304719-17112019><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I need the advise of
this esteemed forum once again.I was dry fitting the exhaust and intake manifold
and noted the holes didn't line up properly on the head side. I used washers as
shims until the holes lined up and ended up with a 0.171" gap between the two
manifolds. See the pictures. The Moss gasket I have (021-429) is 0.047" thick.
It would require 3-4 gaskets to properly fill the gap. Is there another gasket
that is thicker? The BMC part number for the gasket is AEC950. I seem to
remember the original gasket was thicker but it got destroyed during
disassembly. Is this a case of switching to a non-asbestos modern gasket
material?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

use multiple gaskets. Is there a better solution? Car is a 1960 BT7 Mk1 2
