Remflex Header Gasket Users Come In

[fast400]

For those of you that use Remflex header gaskets, have you had failures? I've had two failures, and they were installed by the book to 20ft/lbs. What went wrong? Remflex is awesome at honoring their product, but I don't want to repeatedly be replacing gaskets...might go back to copper silicone if it blows again.

I used them exclusively on the TTA and never suffered a failure, they are however, fragile out of the wrapper and easily cracked if bent.

I like them so much that I used them in the LS build. Could your header flanges be really warped?

Header are Flat. Gaskets weren't bent during install. Torqued to 20ft/lbs

I have had similar issues on my GTA and Mustang, switched to Percy's Seal-4 Good and never had issues again.

Hmmm, I don't know then? The ONLY thing I did different was to give them an extra 3 ft lbs of torque. Cant see why that would matter though.

I actually called the Remflex folks. They were super nice. They also recommended increasing the torque to 25ft/lbs.
