The gaskets, when heated, will give off a burning odor for up to a week. Don't worry about it. _____________________________ 1997 CX 5-speed Eibach springs and shocks Magnaflow cat-back AEM V2 intake 16-inch Black Racing Pro wheels Pillar Pod/tach/clock, Magnaflow and V2 install: http://www.conceptualpolymer.com/honda_corner.htm (in reply to vertech0) Post #: 2
