do you guys make ur own gaskets, is there a sheet of some material that i can cut out my own gasket, i have a fucked up volvo inlet flange, i got an extra flange machined for me but now i need a gasket.

 

I know a guy who has used "blue" RTV on Skylines and other imports a few times, and says it works good.

 

copper rtv works fine usually, but its a good idea to use a gasket as well.

 

Flush both flanges on a belt sander or mill, a little copper RTV Goop and you'll be fine.

 

Got plenty of gaskets, let me know if you need em.

 

What about gaskets for a Hot side? Like what if there are no gaskets out there in existance? Thought there was some goop in a tube that could be used....just can't remember what it's called or where to get it.

 

Cant you buy gasket material sheets at Napa or some place like that?

 

yeah, but paper gaskets and exhaust high temps dont mix well.

 

homemade copper gaskets. Buy a 1' piece of round copper pipe ( i couldnt find copper sheets thick enough) and cut it in half down the center. Unfold and pound flat. then trace the flange onto the "sheet" with a sharpie and cut it out with a combination of hole saw, tin snips, and a grinder. I make all of my exhaust gaskets like this.

 

copper sheet metal.... it can be bought, my neibhor has a sheetmetal shop with a ton of it
