The guy who replaced my HEs used the old gaskets. Now, one side, I can't remove the old gaskets and on the other, one bent and pulled a stud. I hate this Fing design and am about to just go back to 911s exclusively. A completly BS design!!!!!!!
Can I use the old gaskets w/o having a major leak? I am seriously pissed at this thing. Been working on theis for about 6 hours now. About as long as it takes to do a quick rebuild on a type 1. |

On subies we use a red high temp silicon that never gives a problem on headers but it's also water cooled so you need to check the temps difference. It works on the turbo flanges and thats pretty hot. Also on chevys we can get brass nuts that don't rust. It looks like that would work on this application also. I know everyone gets ther pants in a dither if it's not original but I like making things better than average. It looks like you could replace the studs with sae stuff and use stainless studs with brass nuts if you can't get metric stuff. I know of no auto designed for the mechanic my son is a ME and is seeing what others have designed and can't believe what constraints are used for production. It's really just a salesmans world.
