The other thing is I have run the same blue gaskets at the track with multiple metering block removals with no issues. BUT when the gaskets are obviously swollen that should be an immediate repair before going farther with tuning. High Potential fire hazard.

Blue gaskets vs the other brown gaskets, etc have the best non-stick performance.
But they do swell and need to be replaced over time.

As far as the other comments, everyone has an opinion and can post it.
One fact is worth 10,000 opinions. I am passing on valid facts vs starting urination contests.

I will replace those gaskets asap… as far I know those gaskets at 6-7 years old…

Thx
