Stage 3 heads / Valley Gasket question

[meatball]

Hi all,

Whats the best way to seal the valley gasket to the two closest inlet ports on stage 3 heads?
The valley gasket is now about 3 times the size of the two closest ports joining wall.

Should i try and trim it and risk buggering the gasket up or leave as it is and let the engine eat whats left over ?

Does this make sense???...

I think you mean the wall between the two middle ports is now very thin??


Trim the gasket carefully with a dremel or similar and use a bit of silicone as well

Just check it against your inlet manifold too, it is pointless matching it against the heads if the inlet manifold fits ok!
