| Post subject: | Exhaust flange gaskets |
I heard a while ago that some company makes exhaust flange gaskets (and manifold gaskets for GM engines) that will expand when subjected to exhaust heat and will form a perfect seal. Anyone else heard of these? The gaskets I use on the downpipe flange in my Duster (and where I bolted in straight pipes in place of my truck's catalytic converters) never want to seal and leak pretty heavily after no more than a couple weeks. |

I know there's reusable copper and aluminum header collector seals........ Don't know about ones for normal manifolds. |

I'm not worried about the manifold gaskets (that was just what was being talked about when they came up). All I need is a bunch of 2-bolt flange gaskets. And NO ring gaskets!

I still think you've got a warped flange. |

I think so too, but I don't want to spend the money on having a new exhaust system done up until I make up my mind on if I'm going to keep the stock exhaust manifold, go with a set of Dutra Duals, or wait and see if this new header project pans out...

I wouldn't think it would be too much elbow grease involved in resurfacing it by hand. Is the manifold still on the engine? |
