Does anyone here in the states have the GRPS Intake/exhaust gaskets? I didn't think so. I tried to get hold of Jim Cox to see if he could get any more of theirs made, but have not heard back from him.

I am going to be in need of some shortly, and will likely place an order. I think the current price is $51 for 2 including shipping. Just thought I'd ask here before i ordered. I'd be willing to order some extras if somebody wants some. It may save a little on shipping.

I need a gasket too. I will try to call Jim this weekend.
Will

Thanks Will. I called and left a message back a couple weeks ago. Depending on the price I would probably get 4 or 5 for the Covalt Clan.

I'll take 2, if you don't mind coordinating the order. Let me know when/how/amount to pay.

If you're up for a bit more work, you might consider seeing if he will send you a bunch of the Permaseal head gaskets (3.66" bore). I could front the money for those if you like. He can get a discount from a parts house on a good number. I would probably order 30 based on demand around here and price. Just another thought...

Best,

Lou

Lou, Let's see if Will can get the gaskets from Jim Cox. If they are not available then I will try and get an order together from GRPS. I would also like a couple of the big bore head gaskets.

I am working to get final pricing on some of the big bore head gaskets, and some intake/exhaust manifold gaskets. Since these will be coming out of Australia, it is better to place one large order than for each of us to do it individually. I will post back later this week with some details and then take orders.

Ok,
I have sent 2 e-mails over the last 2 weeks to GRPS trying to get info on their extra -thick Graphite Intake/Exhaust gaskets. I have not heard back from them at all. So I moved on to talk with Mark at Aussie Speed. He can get us a large port graphite Intake/Exhaust gasket but it is not as thick as I would like. It is 1.5MM (@1/16" thick. I am wondering if anyone has used them with headers and how they worked out. I can get a good price on them for us but I want to make sure they are good to use with headers. Please let me know if you have used it, and how it worked. I don't want to order 20 of them and then have them not work. My guess is that they may work well with a flat face manifold, but not so well with the headers that have a small, raised sealing surface.

If this does not work out then Mark said he may need to do a little research on the proper material for a new gasket and have them made.

Thanks,

Rick

Description from Aussie speed web site:

Slant 6 Chrysler large port manifold gaskets. These gaskets have a perforated steel centre with a layer of high temp graphite sealer on either side for better sealing of all types of inlet & exhaust manifolds. The large port version is only recommended for serious large port race heads.You are purchasing 3 single large port gaskets

If you are Having trouble getting the Graphite Gaskets from australia,

you can try this one:

http://catalog.remflex.com/MOPAR_Header ... p/6008.htm


They will probably be stock sized ports but you can always modify the ports larger is needed.

Greg, you may be right. This may be our only option for a thick gasket for now. The cost of the Remflex is about $60 with the shipping. I was trying to get something at about half that price.

Thanks,
Rick

What about a copper gasket, would that be sufficient for both intake and exhaust.

A year ago I bought 2 sets of remflex off amizon for I beleive less than $60 with shipping, and they do work great with headers

2 for $60 would be a really good price. They do look very nice.
