    Default I want to polish the plenum, is there a gasket?

    basically as title says, Ive been searching threads but couldn't find anything, just wondering if i remove the top part of the plenum so i can polish it up, is there a gasket that i will need to replace?

    But don't take it out of its slot. They expand and mostly can't be put back in

    are you talking the plenum as a whole or just the flat lid part, cause polishing the flat lid part will look like dogs balls....

    There is no such thing as stupid questions, Only stupid people.

    Doesn't look too bad, each to their own though I guess
