Hi Guys I'm getting Stainless exhaust gaskets cut, if you want a set let me know its R80
Good grade stainless 1.6mm thick gaskets, you won't be blowing gaskets ever again.

You guys will never listen, USE BOSTIK GASKET WITH NO GASKET, JUST FACE ON FACE, or firegum as VC just did.

2 sets is already in the making... I've done the face on face thing before, worked fine, till a turbo blade got damage because a piece of firegum broke off.

Ok I can get the others made as well
Head side: R20 a port = R80 a set
Turbo top : square one: R22
Turbo exhaust side: R35
So far got 4 sets of the Exhaust ports
VeeCee up for the others?
Prices seems a bit steep, maybe its on the amount of material they use ??

How air tight is a stainless steel gasket? Don't you still have to put some sealant like firegum? If so, won't that still "blow"?

LOL - you make us blush...
yes - that spanjaard copper gasket spray works fine!!! you cover the gaskets in the sticky copper paint stuff, and i seals the small imperfections!

Window your in luck my man... They made 7 sets for me I asked for 4...
Yip still got 3 more...
Nah no fire gum... just a little gasket maker on each side to make it air tight, doesn't need to be the high heat stuff red / gray RTV will work fine, or that copper gasket stuff
