Intake Runner Gasket ?

[SHOtimer]

So, I am rebuilding an intake to put on my car while I remove and rebuilt the current one on the car. So, I have all the needed gaskets and I have a question concerning the secondary runner gaskets. The ones of which 4 are required for one intake. One goes between the intake and the horn and then one goes between the horn and the secondary butterflies. Anyway, one side of this gasket is smooth and solid, the other side is more soft and fiberous, this is true of all 4 gaskets. Is one side supposed to go a certain way, because of the ovious difference in texture of sides? Thanx, Doug

I don't think that it matters. just as long as it fits on there right all is good. In the 2 intakes I've put together recently I never paid any attention to which side was out or in.

I just did mine... just kinda slapped them on so i doubt it matters... my SHO's running a lot better with a clean intake no vaccume leak.

Thanx, I just need to wait for my clamps then I will snap it all together.

IIRC, the gaskets only go on one way

They'll only physically line up one way, right? I don't recall them being symmetrical.
