The result is tighter tolerances at the carburetor interface and a part that seals and seats consistently, build after build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDry-fit against your specific carburetor body before final assembly, and torque fasteners evenly in a criss-cross pattern to avoid warping the sealing surface. Because this is a fuel-system component, use a fuel-safe thread sealant or o-ring where called for, and re-check for leaks after the first heat cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eExplore Related Categories\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fuel-intake\"\u003eFuel \u0026amp; Intake\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all-vw-aircooled\"\u003eAll VW Air-Cooled\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jaycee\"\u003eJayCee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JayCee","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":45027418538099,"sku":"JC-4477-0","price":246.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue","offer_id":45027418570867,"sku":"JC-4478-0","price":246.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Red","offer_id":45027418603635,"sku":"JC-4476-0","price":246.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2760\/1523\/files\/JC-4477-0-1.jpg?v=1779502849","url":"https:\/\/www.washburnsmetal.com\/products\/jaycee-48-ida-epc-billet-top","provider":"Washburn's Metal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
