Permatex ultra copper

go for a Felpro set. Got one for my RHB5, looks nice. If that doesn't seal it up, bust out the copper spray.

copper gasket maker FTW. every seal in my turbo system uses that ----, not one leak to this day.

I've had extremely good luck with wheelbearing grease. A thin coat between the flanges. Have te drive it off boost long enough to allow it to burn the grease up. It leaves a hard carbon seal. I've used it an a few DSMs with no leaks.

Ultra-copper rtv works ok if you're attached to the head, but if you hit over 500 degress it burns right off and will leak. Your best bet is to make a gasket out of soft metal such as copper sheeting.

well...
i had some 0.5-3 sheetmetal snd some permatex copper spray
so i made a double gasket and sprayed them about 3 coats.... ill let it dry and ill see whats gooing on tommorow.


i also tryed 1 metal without a spray.... but that didnt worked. :3

if the new way wont work ill try a 2-3mm copper sheet...

Are you sure you're supposed to let the copper spray dry? I thought you put flanges together while it's still tacky, so it seals better. I don't know.
