Mr. Fixit

I was not referring to shaving the cork. Not sure how you would do that either

I was responding to the original post that indicated that a cooling leak was caused by the end seals. This could only happen if the cork was way too thick or if the ends were not properly trimmed and the cork got pinched between the intake and head causing insufficient torque on the gasket around the water cross-over.

As I said in my last post, I have put together many without incident. I don’t disagree with using RTV only, but the cork can be used very successfully if installed properly.
