2 bolt vs 3 bolt uppipe
Ok basically I ordered a kakumei 3 bolt manifold and uppipe and was supplied a 2 bolt version (cheers flat4online)
What is the difference between them. I have read that the 2 bolt is prone to popping gaskets, is this true.
So could someone shed some light on this for me please.
Thanks
Jamie

3 bolt also has gasket issues too, i have replaced the gasket twice in a year now.
have now changed bolts to 12mm to try and eliminate any movement once it heats up. strange that they use a 10mm bolt when a 12mm one fits
in saying that, 12mm is a damm tight fit.
