Why would exhaust gaskets blow out if you make sure the bolts are tight? Mine lasted for years and I had to pry the headers off which tore the gaskets in half. I wonder how much the Cometic ones cost. Guess I'll call around.
The standard ones that I posted the pic of run about $50 and the ones that have both the 525 and standard BB pattern run around $80 per set |
purchase through you?

Remflex Gaskets !!!!!!!! THE BEST
They have double the compression than any other gasket NEVER NEVER leak , they make up for uneven surfaces corroded heads or Ex manifolds, reusable, never burn |

SInce they have issues blowing out, do you think some water reversion / ingestion issues stem from this but blamed on a leaking (water internally) header ? Exhaust leaks at the collector have been known to cause reversion.
Is it more a matter of less positive impulse through the primary tube into the collector? It just doesn't make sense to me. |

Scott, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around how a leaking header gasket can contribute to reversion. When the piston is on the up stroke, the gasses take the path of least resistance, with part of the charge exiting through the leak. On the down stroke, if the exhaust valve is off its seat, it is a similar situation - it will try to pull the air in from either the leak or the exhaust primary. If it pulls it in through the leak, it's not going to pull any water in with it, unless the boat is under water. :)

See my post above (#4) for pricing.

Answer a question with a question.. tricky you are.
So, my question goes into the same sort of reason. |

If that was for me, then yes you certainly can get them through me.
