RippinShee Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 So I will need new gaskets for the reeds and all? So even if I get reed spacers, they wont hurt anything right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbcmudtruck Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 You will need new reed gaskets (4) and gaskets for the spacers (2). I really don't think reed spacers have that much effect on performance. The main reason people run them is to clear the clutch arm with the left carb bowl. Your upp intakes may be angled to fix that problem though. Who did you order them from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I have UPP, I had boss. I have the UPP without any holes for the crossover tube. I haven't used one in years. Yes, you'll need reed spacers unless you want to bend down your clutch actuator arm and grind off some of the drain plug bolt for the carb. Otherwise, it will hit. And as said, just because it's new, doesn't mean it won't leak. I use a thin coat of RTV on both sides of ALL the gaskets. The spacers won't effect performance. Keep in mind the intake/reed cage is part of the overall combustion chamber and need to be sealed correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
