They're not really metal, but they work just as good and are designed to last longer than the oem pieces, unless you install one upside down and none of these gaskets will last.NeedCAforS13 wrote:I also use the stock asbestos ones. I don't see why you NEED metal ones. Stockers are like $5. Just buy new ones whenever you pull the manifold off.
I hate to have two threads open on the same topic, but what brand are these magic gaskets you have? A little info would be nice.boost_boy wrote:They're not really metal, but they work just as good and are designed to last longer than the oem pieces, unless you install one upside down and none of these gaskets will last.

Somethings I do keep to myself, but there's no name brand that's shared with me either. All I know is they work, they are reusable, they have a metal center and a durable external covering which is what makes them better than the stockers. However, the stockers will work and can be reused as well.AWDB12wagon wrote:I hate to have two threads open on the same topic, but what brand are these magic gaskets you have?

Cool, did they make them for your CA or what engine do you have?nvrplzd240 wrote:Just to add to the thread a little bit... Remflex makes custom gaskets if you want and they guarantee them to not blow out.
My Remflex's are awesome.
sounds like 92-on Euro spec genuine gaskets, there were 3 different versions of OEM gaskets, the very latest ones had metal rings around the ports and the stud holes.boost_boy wrote: Somethings I do keep to myself, but there's no name brand that's shared with me either.

So can these be sourced in the USA?sideways danny wrote:sounds like 92-on Euro spec genuine gaskets, there were 3 different versions of OEM gaskets, the very latest ones had metal rings around the ports and the stud holes.
Genuine Gaskets every single time for me, I've only ever had problems when I've used pattern parts
Yeah I'm still around! I just can't give you exctly what you want other than the parts themselves. The little pouches have part #s on them, so maybe they'll help. But I personally could care less about part #s as long as the stuff works.AWDB12wagon wrote:Is dee even still here? He hasn't responded and hasn't been on, it looks like...
So how much you want for them? Or where did you get 'em from? Thanks Dee.boost_boy wrote:Yeah I'm still around! I just can't give you exctly what you want other than the parts themselves.
