Case matching.

The previous owner matched the cases I'm using to some kit pretty deep back so I tried to slope the hero kits transfers to match without going too crazy. I cut the gasket from .8mm rubbery/fibery gasket material. MLM base spacers make making base gaskets so easy peasy. Just trace the skirt hole and stud holes and cut the transfers with an exacto blade when the gasket is on the cylinder. It's worth buying one just to cut your own gaskets since the pre made ones are usualy shit tons off or paper thin junk. Also, I bought crocheting needles at Walmart for a few bucks that were labeled in millimeters. So sick for making cylinders line up perfecto on the studs. Just needed to drill down a little in the cylinders stud holes and press them in. Now it's nice and snug. I also matched the exhaust port to a 26mm gasket since the casting was wayyyyyyy off from the factory. The intake plate was covered with jb weld all around too so there's no chance of leaks.
