You can also use a Chevy EGR gasket, But the Chevy takes a little more trimming. That's what I used first until someone pointed out the Ford works better. Here is a photo of the Chevy one, sorry for the attachment photo. I have not figured out how to post photo's yet. The Chevy one actually has aluminum in it, so I'm sure it would last longer and seal better. But I have not been able to find another one. The gasket makers are getting cheap and harder to find gaskets like that. I told BikeGuyJoe about this like a year ago. |

What would you guys pay for a high heat gasket for the exhaust. I can make them Crusier has one maybe he will chine in and give a report on them. I don't want much for them at this ten seconds I could also send just the material and you could knock out your own. what do you guys think would be a fair price?

The Vee dub gaskets are two for a buck down the street... (But the port hole is small)
For a custom metal sleeved gasket that matches our exaust port perfectly??? $1.00 each? | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
