The gasket in the picture had no internal separation, just very brittle almost like phenolic. It came with a car bought cheap with no service records; the PCV system was a mess. Not k-jet either, it was LH2.4, so the ECU does a lot with its learning capability to give wiggle room for the leaks.

As to your question about k-jet idle... I have two. The 79 is bare-bones, no lambda or constant idle system. It shakes early in the warm-up cycle but then smooths out in park or neutral after a minute. I do feel an imbalance in drive if the idle rpm is set on the low side. The 83 is an intercooled turbo with a constant idle system. That motor does no shaking; in fact it is so quiet, I will try to shame the 79 into behaving better by parking them side by side. Or something. Or maybe I had better look at the intake manifold gasket??
