    This is a dry manifold, with injectors directly in the head. No fuel touches the gaskets.

    Unfortunately, that's not the case here. The injectors release in direct proximity to this plastic gasket, and not into the head, as direct injection systems do. Also, a lot of VX'ers of late have been reporting a code 171 gasket problem. It's curious, that's all I'm saying, ethanol has had a couple of years now to work on the plastic???

    I have had a set of new FelPro lower gaskets in my garage for a couple weeks now. Just been cringing at the thought of tearing down the S/C AGAIN to get around to swapping. Such tedious work....
