INJEN 7,
You should research a little what "Blockoff Plates" are.... They are not to "Block off the license plate". They are plates designed to fit over areas onto manifolds (and other parts) to enable people to remove equipment they aren't using. For instance, people removing the airpump can also remove parts like the ACV. This will leave a huge hole in the Lower Intake Manifold, so you use a "Blockoff Plate" to cover up the hole where the ACV used to be.

Thanks guys, but rather than using washers on the studs, I'm going to increase the thickness of the BOP. Does anyone have an ACV off their car that they can measure the thickness of the bolt flange? I really want to make these BEFORE removing stuff.
Also, couldn't I just use the old metal gasket or buy some gasket material and cut out a gasket rather than use silicone or Permatex Ultra Gray?

But is there any way you can measure the bolt flange on you ACV? I want to use the studs and I need to know how thick to make the BOP. Thanks.
