#346724 did you try aircraft cleaner to remove the paper gasket on your intake side?

strong stuff and should be able to get them at your local auto store under the paint section.

#346739 Iv actually looked everywhere for that aircraft paint remover/cleaner but it's almost like they don't sell it here in Canada lol someone said carb cleaner and a razor blade should work so I'm gonna try that today

#346743 That paper gasket was a bitch to remove, A square block of wood and 60 grid sand paper, just hold the block straight and flat it out. About the studs, usual is 14mm standard, can you make a picture of that, it could be 14mm 12corners or 1/2 12corners,13mm 12corn...

#346744 I can't really take a pic as the studs are in the head and I only have an iphone to take pics with lol the 1/2 12 point socket fit but I broke the extension peice because it's so small
