Outlaw Engineering ThermoBlok spacers instructions
Anybody have the instructions for install on these, the ones that came in the package? I did the install over 4 years ago and am now swapping over them to a new engine. I can't for the life of me remember how I installed the new bolts on the head. Also, the greenish gasket that came with the spacers is stuck to the old engine. Should I be good using some grey RTV between the head and the spacer?

I would use no gasket between the head and the spacer, the spacer technically serves the same purpose as the gasket, RTV has a good chance of making an uneven surface. I havent installed one in a while, but im pretty sure you have to use the double nut method to remove the studs from the old head and transfer them over.

Aw yes, the double nut method. That should work perfect, thanx.
As far as no gasket at all, not sure if that seems safe. Because Outlaw provided some kind of gasket to go between the head and spacer and you use the OEM gasket between the spacer and the manifold, seems you would need something.
Outlaw did reply back to me after inquiring about the gasket: "We do not supply the gaskets separately. However, you can use any aftermarket or OEM gasket on the spacers, there is nothing special about our gasket."

AGH completely forgot about these spacers. I have to email OE since I believe I'm missing 3 nuts and bolts for my install.
