RGS/SFC inlet manifolds

O-Rings should be used between manifolds and head. I think the insolating-plates have been used on 1000 SFC's, too, but I am not sure if they are benefiting or add another potential air-leak... Don't have them on mine.

7mm bolts re-plated (god that was rediculously expensive).


Thx, Andre

What kind of plating? Zinc would be expensive if you did 2 bolts but if you brought a bucket load it would be the same price...
 
Hey Andre if the RGS manifolds are good you should see the raised section on the mating surface so really shouldn't need any jointing compound but if the rubber was a bit harder it wouldn't hurt to use a little 3 Bond.

MotoV - you're right, same price for zinc plating 6 (or 12 or 40) as minimum order price was $60. You're right cheaper to go buy new ones. I'm sure 7mm bolts available somewhere. Ah well, done now

Maurice - new inlet rubbers. Yes they have that 'raised' o-ring cast on the face. i'll put a 'dab' of something on the face for good luck. Hylomar and exhaust silicone are in my toolbox. The old ones had 3 bond, but seemed quite brittle at the face (hence leaking?)

cheers guys
