How so? Last thing i want is another problem. What sort of problems will occur if it does run into problems.

And Inferno i cant wait... Having withdrawals from the Escort... been driving a 2005 Mirage around with gay bling rims.. it's my girlfriends... no power what so ever.. i feel like im a woman driving it, it's embarressing [8~2] but yeah once shes in tip top condition im going to make some vids and take some pics and share with you guys.

it might be alright if it's just a thin coat but it could possibly make the surface not flat, anyways i had a similar problem i used the gasket as a template and painted exactly around it, but when i put the manifold on it must have been sitting slightly on the edge of the paint and was causing an air leak, so i scraped it all off, having said that just have a few spare inlet gaskets on hand, if you run into trouble just whip it off and scrape the poo poo off, also is a pain trying to keep it outta the ports as well

Cheers mate. ill do that before hand. i'll do anything to prevent a problem lol. [88][88]

Hey Hey guys, head is back on!, but ive come into some pain in the arse problems.. went to put the webbers back on and the chrome off the webber has chipped off a fair bit where the manifold goes on and it would leak if i just wacked her on, so i gotta get some liquid poo poo to seal her up or im just going to strip the chrome off to bare nothing lol... also didn't realize but the spark plugs are all Bent!... rang up a few spare part places and all they seems to know is the RS2000 2lt plugs. Does anyone know if they will fit the MK2 1980 2lt? i thought they would but i dont wanna screw around.

After the plugs are bought and the webber/manifold problem is sorted the car shall be going... next step is Dyno, ive just got to find one lol.

Spark plugs you need are NGK BP(insert desired heat range No. here, 6 or 7 perhaps)FS, e.g BP6FS.

What has the chrome come off, the carby itself or the manifold?

Manifold, where the gasket goes on.
