Inlet Manifold Gasket

[l0WRB]

hey guys just want to find out from ppl who have experience with your after market paper inlet manifold gaskets if there alrite to use?

I fitted up a greddy COPY manifold 2yrs ago, re-used the factory metal gasket and never skimmed/shaved the manifold and finally it let go on the weekend.

I dropped manifold at engine centre now 2 be shaved, what im wondering is do i need to buy a genuine metal gasket? or can i use afer market paper one ? do i use any special sealant on them? some tips or advice would be great thanks! Reason i ask is because genuine is around $90 and your after market ones thru protorque etc are alot cheaper $50 mark

Use the genuine, they are a lot better

Why is the manifold off if you don't mind me asking?

Genuine 98bux!!! Umm last week started leaking and has been miss firing on cold start ups, finally let go sat night and coolant was leaking into cylinder 2 and 4 so glad it all happened before powerplay in january!

Poor man pays twice - when a non genuine gasket shits itself and you have to replace it again?

$150 + time, real winner!
