for those with motordyne spacer

I just put on a 5/16 spacer that I bought here on the forum but I noticed that mine was black all around, after looking at the spacers on the motordyne website I noticed that they look polished, just wondering what yours looked like

They aren't polished, just plain aluminum with gasket top & bottom.
But if yours is black on the sides; either it's painted or not really Motordyne.

How would it take an hour to measure your spacer? Regardless of whether it's installed or not, just put a ruler up to it...

G35pm is legit, he's a local member to me.

It would take you less time to measure it with a ruler than it would take to make this thread.

that pics shows the gasket (yes black/dark grey)... your post implied the "side" is black (when you say "all around"... what are you considering to be all around?

Don't know what to tell you man, I bought all that stuff new straight from the Motordyne site. protocav(Chad) installed all that stuff for me when I took off my turbo kit a while back. Maybe an old plenum gasket is stuck to it?
