^yup, and pretty prone to leaks cuz there are so many.
just a suggestion on those paper intake gaskets (6 small gaskets and 1 long, 1 piece gasket). use some orange high temp rtv on them... just smudge a very light, even coating on it with your fingers as if you're painting them with the rtv. it helps them seal a bit better and also serves as a temporary glue to hold them on surfaces as you're assembling.
I had metal ones (reused) and a couple of them blew after 2 years. ended up going back to the paper with light rtv coat. do the extra work now so you don't have to do it in the car:)
