Re: intake gasket help
I have a set of 1203s on my L35 heads that have been worked a bit. They fit perfectly.
The only thing that concerns me is the EGR area. I can't see a paper-based gasket living long in an exhaust environment. I red RTV'd around the area where the EGR hole is.
I haven't put any heavy pressure to it, but so far, so good.
I had the blue steel sandwich felpros on there before... these look like a stronger gasket, except for the lack of a bar in the two siamese intakes.

Some pics to help clear up the 1202 confusion.
1) - The FelPro LB4 gasket on a stock SyTy Intake.
2) - The FelPro 1202 Performance gasket in a stock SyTy intake:
That intake was pulled out of hiding, so excuse the lack of cleanliness. I aligned each bolt hole perfectly, taped the gasket in place and dropped bolts through the holes (to keep it from lifting off the intake). Nothing has been tweaked, massaged or altered (intake, alignment, or whatever). So, as you can see, there's plenty of material for the intake to "bite down on" with the 1202. However, if anyone prefers the stock LB4 gasket, we carry that too. Cheaper and metal layered. - http://www.hoodtuned.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=20_40_44&product_id=136

Re: intake gasket help
I have put about 2000 miles now on a set of stock LB4 gaskets and they are still doing fine. :tup:

Re: intake gasket help
If anyone wants to run a stock GM gasket you can use GM # 10159423
I used it on my syclone last year.
It's not syty specific, as that one is no longer available. However it fits perfectly and has the side by side intake ports made as 1 hole to fit the stock heads. Just make sure to put the ends with the metal restrictors in the coolant ports on the back of the engine.

Re: intake gasket help
What about the egr crossover blocked in the 1202. Do you need it. My chip turns off egr anyway and if I ever get checked I can turn it on with the other ones.
