I checked on mine. Mine is fine
I feel like the biggest problem with the ported manifold comes when you are boosted.

If you go the two gasket route, I highly recommend buying your insulator from Ivan@SouthwestSpeed. He includes longer bolts with every purchase and they'll help because even with the stock bolts, you'll only get a few threads thread with the black ice.

My thinking is that longer bolts should be used regardless of whether two gaskets or RTV is used. I've read about too many stripped threads.

Nope. I was referring to my ported IM - it was done by RX.

Agree with Lscamaro, Ivan is a great vendor and he's apart of the ECC family

Also while we are talking spacers, gaskets and longer bolts.... I have both spacers, with additional gaskets (yes even for the plenum spacer) for sale with longer bolts

That's definitely not my intentions

If you want to get both we can work out a package deal
