My OHV engine from a 2000 explorer has what appears to be a felpro gasket between the lower intake manifold and the fuel rail. Was this most likely NOT a factory part? My rebuild kit has two paper gaskets with rubber seals. What I removed looks like a single thick gasket with compression limiters on the bolt holes. The two paper gaskets makes me think that the original part must have been a hard spacer plate that took a paper gasket on each side.
Any suggestions for how to move forward? replace the felpro with another thick gasket?
