Anyone make extra thick intake gaskets or spacers? Maybe .25, intake sits to low.

Anyone make extra thick intake gaskets or spacers? Maybe .25, intake sits to low.
As stated in title, intake has alway sat to low, probably due to tpis having to weld and remachine my intake after cutting water passage to low, ruinning my engine years ago.. Gotta love them!
Anyway, sits to low, I have double 1/8 gaskets, but they always seperate between ports after some use.. Ports are almost 1/8" to low sitting in comparrison to my afr heads.. Maybe an intake gasket spacer? I can't find anything.
And to any boxing fans, congrats to Sugar Shane Mosley! New welterweight champ!

cant you have someone make a steel shim for you? then just use some RightStuff to seal it all up?

lay a pattern on a piece of sheet metal and have a fab shop laser cut that out, i think Domination chassis in pittsburgh will do that

I've used the fel-pro 1206 and 1266. The 1266 is thicker, but I can't rember how thick off the top of my head. You can find the thicknesses in the real fel-pro catalog. I will have to remember what site I got those off of....

Thanks, 1266 is what I took off, they are .120, I am either going to glue a 1206 and 1266, or make the spacer..
