Re: [T3] Intake gaskets

<x-flowed>Matt,
What you do is lay the gasket material over the area you are trying to 
make the gasket for, and tap around the edges of that area (the port 
and/or sealing surface) to create an impression in the gasket material.  
Then take your scissors (don't run with them to do this ;)) and cut out 
along the lines created by the tapping.
