Re: your threads suck, so help me make a gasket
 

I've used both, haha. Only time I used the ghetto portable one is on a Metro head, though.

Re: your threads suck, so help me make a gasket
 

Portable is probably bigger than the metro head, so yeah.

For the record, JD is 100% correct. If the machined surfaces mate perfectly, it will not leak. Ive ran numerous dsms/porsche like that and now my daily driven turbo LS with exactly no leaks.

Some porsche come from the factory without exhaust gaskets at all.

Gaskets are a compromise for the factory quality.

Re: your threads suck, so help me make a gasket
 

I have yet to see a manifold made by anyone that is flat enough to not need a gasket. My milled head flange has leaks even with a thick gasket and my belt sanded (by a professional machinist) turbo flange leaks like a ----------er with a metal gasket AND a ---- ton of orange RTV. My untouched WG flange seals fine with RTV and a metal gasket, go figure. ::)

Aside from all of that, you're failing to realize how little sealing surface Pete has with that ported head.


Yea that's exactly how it went. ::)

You're stupid, your car is slow and broken, and domestics rule.

Your car sounds like a piece of ----. isn't it missing gears and stuff too? damn son may be time to give that haggard ass parts car a rest.

Re: your threads suck, so help me make a gasket
 

Slow by who's standards? Slow by 12.9 @ 109mph 100 shot using LS1 owners standards? I laugh at that thought. Drive your dumbestic boat off a bridge and see if it floats.


Take me up on my bet if you're so confident.

Re: your threads suck, so help me make a gasket
 

Try out that gasket stuff and let us know how it goes.

Re: your threads suck, so help me make a gasket
 

What, the $1000 bet that the OEM-proven gasketless solution leaks like the Titanic, or the $2000 bet that I don't get my manifolds where you get yours? :1

Re: your threads suck, so help me make a gasket
 

For someone of your intelligence level I would expect a higher level of reading comprehension.

I'm refering to the $1,000 bet that HIS manifold (no one else's, just his) will leak if HE (not you, not anyone else) uses no gasket.
Never said anything about gasketless manifolds not working because everyone knows it does (or at least should). I mentioned only HIS manifold.

I already won the manifold source bet so that isn't fair.
