I don't hold much confidence in it. That's just me. All -------rigged. Get the flange shaved down flat. Unless of course I'm wrong and it holds and I was dumb for me getting it shaved down for $40.

Dude get real these guys are yanking your chain.
That gasket stuff is a joke no way its going to hold.
Go to a hardware store. Buy a sheet off copper thats 2mm thick and fabi your own gasket.
High Temp LOL

read the back of the permatex tube
it says it doesnt like gasoline, personally i think u could of been good without it
my flanges had flux all over them from welding on them and they dont leak one single bit
the trick is to tighten the ---- outta your new bolts before you run them

I would just start the thing up and then go from there. Don't ask questions like this. If it is something that isn't gonna break anything, then wait til you konw it is a problem, then ask.
The oil line question was stupid, but worth asking kinda. The turbo takes a ---- if you didn't fix that thing. If you don't fix this, then your car just makes a small sputtering noise.
