Default Re: Exhaust Gaskets

Fred, if you’re talking about between the adapter and the head, I don’t use a gasket and have had zero problems. Just lightly butter it with red rtv and bolt the plate onto the head with no gasket.
For between the plates and the header flange I really haven’t had a problem with mr gasket typical gaskets. BUT I have learned after you first fire up the engine and get em hot for the first tine, come back and snug up on the header bolts. You’ll typically find em a bit loose and if you don’t snug em, after a dozen passes they’ll leak out and burn up.
