I'm getting a skunk2 intake manifold installed soon. So i figured while i have my manifold off, might as well give it a try? Anyways, i just got it today and the thing looks huge for a gasket. Will i need longer studs to accomodate for my thicker intake manifold gasket? Just want to hear from any people who have had experience with the installation of this gasket. Thanks.

I dont understand your question? Unless its just me, its late

 

Oops sorry. Edited.

 

Old school member Mike K recomended part #92900-080351b
I don't know how much longer than stock they are because I have not installed them yet

 

I just threw mine on.. didn't change out the studs or anything like that. The nuts don't have as much thread in em, but I don't think that matters on NA application. If you're going to boost on it then I would get longer studs.

 

what is the edvantages of the hondata im gasket?? and how much is it?
thanks

 

i think it's around $50 and the advantages is that it reduces the heat transfered from the head to the IM. It ads about 3 lbs-ft and i know this cuz i saw it in a dyno.
IMO if you are using it, try to take all the coolant lines out of the IM as well as the TB, this might take your temps down a considerable amount
