Intake Gasket

After killing the 5mm die, it was something of a concession to fix the weird gasket on Roxy's original intake.  For some reason the gasket didn't quite fit the opening, and even partially covered it.  But the gasket and insulator were stuck on very tight.

But with the intake in the vise, I was able to saw a knife blade back and forth enough to free an edge, then the rest just peeled off.



It did turn out that the gasket (bottom) was just a little off compared to a new one (top).  Not sure if maybe it was a DIY one, who knows. The new set of gaskets didn't have a replacement (which seemed odd), but the set that came with Roxy's spares did.
