You've got to use some RTV sealant too to ensure you don't get vacuum loss into the inlet from the PCV valve. I suspect the issue MaxR had was related to that. there is a phenolic spacer with an LSJ to L62 channel cut into it, but I don't really see the need for a phenolic spacer when i'm just running 265 bhp. It would save some cutting and messing around with sealant if that was used though.

Do you know where I can buy this phenolic spacer with cutout?

Did you not have the Courtenay spacer fitted?

Easy to mod that one and the result should look like this:

 

Edit; cannot link picture here, but  in this topic to see the modified spacer/gasket

I should probably take some photos of the car considering it's sat outside in the sun, but i'd really like my lens covers back before I do.

Still can't see it. I do have the CS one but if there's one already cut out and channeled to fit as the Z22SE cylinder head and PCV does not line up nicely to the PCV in the inlet manifold so you have to make a sort of channel to line them up correctly normally.
