Now that I look, though, I see there's a note that they will sell them but you have to send photos of your heads and manifolds. I wonder if somebody put spacers in and borked an engine, blaming PMO for the loss.
Edit: And thanks for your input and expertise, it's great that you're available for questions like this. |
Yes,
It looks like, in both of the cases that you've linked to. PMO couldn't guarantee proper fitment or seal, unless you are using PMO manifolds that are designed to work with the CIS ports.....I have Richard review all of my system/applications and he really is very careful regarding the application of his products and wouldn't sell you something that he couldn't be convinced will work well.
The Oil Analysis statement you linked to, if you read it carefully is just saying the same thing
I.E. the spacer, by itself cannot handle the pressure, unless you use the PMO manifold that has a flange shaped the same as the spacer and gaskets that backs up the spacer and provides the added strength required to handle the pressure and minimize the chance of leaks.
