Manifold gaskets.....Please explain
How can a smaller, thinner gasket seal better than a larger thicker one?
I received the S&S gaskets from THC (thanks man) and whipped out the dial calipers.....
The stock HD gasket is .294 tall and .127 thick
The S&S gasket is .240 tall and .113 thick
What the?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

That's just it, I have the S&S manifold and HD seals installed, but, the S&S guy says their seals are the ones to use............

Any chance S&S set ya the wrong o rings
That sure looks to be alot difference. If you were having trouble getting the manifold installed right with the HD rings, thinner S&S rings would make sense.Umm Dang things that make go Ummm.
A couple years ago I was thinking well. This bike is giving me more trouble than my wife. I looked into trading it. Them I remembered times when the wife was more trouble than the bike. I just kept them both
Hope ya get figured out WP
