Car didn’t pass inspection because of an exhaust leak.
So... Just ordered some manifold gaskets from Pelican Parts. Question is. Is this copper soft out of the box, or does it need to be annealed before install? Thanks for sharing your experiences. |

I’ve had brand new ones leak
With annealing I’ve never had a leak Make sure you run a fine on the mounting face before installing |
