To Dunkin, gasket is standard 3 ply stapled together. Probably 3/16” or so. Can’t go any thicker as R2 bonnet is already touching the hood.

Thanks for your response , both of you. Your heat blanket is much more attractive than conventional ones. BTW I already use an electric fan.

Looking for ways to lower under hood temp. It would seem that eliminating the under hood blanket would help reduce under hood temp by allowing more room for air to circulate. Since I only drive in warm weather, I also plan on closing up the exhaust crossover in the intake manifold. What’s the best way?Currently after about an hour of driving on a hot day, heat build up is great enough to boil gas in the secondary float bowl that then percolates into the air horn.
