I have to admit that the reason I caught this was that I made the same mistake in a recommendation to Mike W. a couple of years ago. I'm amazed and grateful that after all the trouble Mike went to, to install the FI gaskets at my recommendation, he still talks to me. ;-) He found that the studs on his heads were too short for that thicker gasket and in the process of trying to fix that, I think a stud got broken or stripped. OTOH, this was with aftermarket manifolds. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
