just been removing above carbs from manifold and it seemed they weren't done up to the hilt,they have very wide spring washers .
i am i right in thinking this is how they should be and this is some kind of anti vibration set up

Get the manifold dowled to the head
Cut the thermostat off and have it remote
Have the inlet manifold gasket made of a non heat conducting material 5mm thick
have the cyl head manifold mating face machined off by 5mm for gasket
God how many more secrets do i give away

Big valve head.
