Re: Phenolic Intake Spacers Are Here

Why not replace the head to intake manifold gasket with something like this, is there a good reason or has no one thought of it yet?

I did this on my vw and the difference(temp wise) was amazing...after running around town not particularly hard after about 20min i couldn't touch the intake manifold after the gasket was replaced with a phenolic replacement it was cool/warm to the touch during the summer and cold in the winter, the intercooler probably helped keep it cool but there was deffinately a difference i could attribute to the spacer...
