Just a thought. Maybe gasket surfaces damaged durring gasket removal? Or a defect in the machining of the I/C.

I used new ZZP gasket and Aaron used GM Gaskets.

Any how.....more work..

i hope it is not a flaw in their machine work !!

ZZP replied that I should use RTV and that should seal it. Rook suggested I use gasket spray and I will.

I don't want to take it apart a third time.

Good luck with the repair dude...I wanna see what this car can do though...hit us up w/ some numbers once everything is working properly.

I already had to cancel first Dyno run...before the leak got big, the tires would burn rubber for a long way.......
any how back to work....

Car is repaired. When installing a gasket on the supercharger look very closely at the end where the supercharger snout is. You will see there is very little room for error. My gasket was only on at that point by 1/8 th of an inch even though the bolt holes where lined up and the rest of the gasket matched fine. There is room for at least 3/8 of an inch.
This problem was reported with two different makes of gaskets.
I have pictures not to sure how to post them.

A good gasket on the bottom (black) Pontiac. Seems to be missing the notch cut out.
