HI,Any one using the above reed block on a ts1?
DO i need to use gaskets or sealant?
If so what gaskets do I need to use? (using Manifold and Reed block modified to fit by Darrel Taylor?

Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure he recommends 2 base baskets to lift the block a little as the petal stops press against the port walls,then use sealant on the manifold.

Hi Wack,
Thanks for the reply.
The petal stops did touch the port walls slightly,so removed metal just where it touched.The reed block just slots straight in now no problem.
Whats the best sealant to use?
Is it still best to use gaskets say standard ts1 cut to shape.
Thanks.
