Just putting new heads on this T-4 and in the gasket kit are the two riser blocks which go on, of course. There are also four metal/composite gaskets which look like they only could go on these intake ports as well. The engine had a Weber carb on it, but I'm putting FI back on it. The Haynes manual doesn't show anything but the composite riser blocks, and makes no mention of these metal gaskets. I've got a Bentley, but only for the earlier T-4 engines (up to '79), and most stuff in this area is exactly the same, but in there too I see no picture of these gaskets, nor mention of them. So ---- ???? Do they go on top of the blocks? Or not at all? Or ---???
