A cckw needs the rings! Won't work w/o them.
Take the manifold and head and clean them out with a sharp object to get the
crud
out of the recesses that they sit in. If you had the manifold planned and
did not have the recesses recut, that is your problem. Separate the
manifolds so that any warpage in the exhaust will not affect the intake.
Usually the exhaust is the problem.
Hope this helps
Steve
