Mycarispurty Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 So stupidly a couple weeks ago I made a post about having trouble getting the Cannon intake to fit with my header. It was a brain fart retard mistake and forgot the intake and exhaust shared studs/nuts. So I got that straightened out and got it set up the right way, and it appears my Cannon was either cast or modified to where the extra material the nuts would bite against, has been adjusted to taper down. So now the nuts/washers won't bite against the intake. They're only off a little bit, but it's not as thick as the exhaust flange, so there's a gap. Just curious if anyone had run into this before and figured out a way to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 You can grind some washers with a step in them so that they fit both flanges, or you can grind on the header so that it is as thick as the manifold. My Cannon was a good 1/8" taller than the exhaust, so I had to remove metal from the manifold to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
