Hi, Just thought id share a tip I found out. I got frustrated with the gasket material I was using to make my custom intake/exhaust gaskets getting stuck to both sides and riping apart whenever id take the intake/exhaust off for a alteration/test/whatever, So I tryed coating it with a little grease. So far, working like a charm, No more riped gasket when I swap intakes.

Mind you, this was for prototype stage where I was swaping intakes often and sick of making a new gasket every time. There are likey better compounds to use for long term sealing, But they likey won't release as cleanly :)

Try an anti-seize compound. Never-Seez by Bostik is a good one. I've used it on all kinds of gaskets and have had very good luck with it. For higher temperature applications you might try Break-Out by RectorSeal. It is a copper based product good for up to 1800 degrees. There are other brands available but these two are good ones.
