wow thats strange you got metal UIM and I got the paper UIM. I think ive been screwed!

what do you mean by bigger UIM gaskets? Ive got that gasket set here ( although im just waiting for parts to come back ) and those gaskets are deff for the large port.

Not this large, though. This is a pic of the metal gasket I'm talking about on top of a 3500 LIM I ported. You can clearly see the metal gasket is showing 1/2 of the red ring on the paper gasket. The top of the pic is the finished product .

I got the 3400 gaskets to work on some 3400 heads I got. Just need to find a cheap big port 3400 IM set.

Get the metal Felpro "problem saver" gaskets.

For big port heads, the part number is MS 98003 T

I was on the understanding that this was supposed to come with the bigger UIM gaskets, but mine didn't. If there is another part number with those metal UIM gaskets, I would also like to know.

Does anyone have good luck with these lower intake gaskets with boost? Im using an 01 3100 topend and the gaskets seem to be plastic... My car had really high idle after i boosted it hard one day, The gaskets look good but how would you tell if theyre bad? they look plastic.. no sealer at all? Should i reuse the bolts for the 3rd time? I think theres a ton of washers on the bolts too... i dont know if that would affect the torque spec. Any help is appreciated , this is the last time im taking my motor out so that goes for the intake gasket as well.
