Default inlet manifold runner gasket with ported head

issues if the gasket is smaller than the ports with matched runners ?

guessing i need to make the gasket bigger but its a cometic metal one, time for the dremel?

Dremmel seems a good idea.

Why not get the inlet manifold machined for 'o' rings?

Do you know the diameter of the o-ring rubber to use - I am assuming neoprene material?

What was the depth of the groove - or the crush of the ring?

Thanks
