The riser off of the manifold
The riser off of the manifold had rotted so I bought a new one. The one I replaced had a gasket to the manifold then a thin metal plate that blocked off the 3 slots and then another gasket to the riser. The new riser came with just 1 gasket. I asked the dealer if I needed to buy another gasket in order to sandwich this metal plate that blocks the slots and he told me that I didn't need the metal plate since I didn't need to block off these slots. This makes me nervous. Can anyone verify if I need this plate?
