Trial fit the inlet's to the modified heads, but it's not OK yet . The angle is IMO not good and the valvecovers doesn't fit  . Maybe someone know what I'm doing wrong or what has to be done to make it work? Cutting the inlet's to a different angle could be a solution I think  . Thanks! gr Wout |

No suggestions? Thanks! gr Wout I think as long as the manifolds are centred over the port, see how much metal you have left on the outside of the manifold (the rocker cover side), and perhaps clearance the manifolds for the rocker cover? Sealing up the intake manifolds can be done with an O-ring sized to fit inside the rebate on the head, so no air leaks, even if the manifold face is now thin from the clearancing. |

That piece that was cut off your manifolds would space it away so it clears,maybe you need a spacer in there to match what it had originally?

Would be a solution but will the inlet stand stable enough then? Thanks! gr Wout |

I would bore a hole in either the manifold or head[or even both] then press a piece of alluminium tube the same size as the manifolds would have had new into the inlet and it will be good

That's an option. But can't do a port-job then , or am I wrong? Thanks!!!!! gr Wout |

Thanks! My father in law made it . Also had to cut a little bit of the valvecovers but most important improvement is the inlets are vertical now  , my father in law measured it and it's 0,2° out of perfect vertical so he is not 100% satisfied , but I am!!!! Tomorrow I go with the Karmann to a friend to do some minor welding. I could do it myself but he's a real pro, so I let him do it gr Wout |
