Default Throttle body gasket.

Call me a noob lol. But I just switch from a single and now to a B. I just picked up a Skunk2 intake mani for it and I got a new intake mani gasket and also got a throttle body gasket while I was there. Now the throttle body gasket isn't fitting right. I'm curious if any of you guys have a picture of one or whatever. Just trying to get this damn motor in my Civic.

Thanks guys.

No the intake mani did not come with a throttle body. I would be using a GSR throttle body but the gasket I have is to little for the opening of the plenum and the coolant port on the intake mani doesn't match up with the gasket I got.

You could custom cut the gasket.

Alright. He was telling me that I should use the cork stuff. I told him he was high. I'll go back and ask again and tell his boss that the dude doesn't know his **** and shouldn't even be working on tricycles lol.

Thank you for all your help, N/A!
