Default Truck Manifold guy's Inside????

What gasket's are you all using from the manifold flange to the up pipe flange? The one with 3 bolt hole's in it. I used this new style high temp gasket with a metal insert in the middle and it just spit's them out! Burn's the metal insert into pieces! What gasket work's best for you guy's!

RTV...high temp copper RTV.

I used the carbon gaskets, but it spit those out too...so I went back to what was working in the first place.

Just use the high temp rtv without a gasket. The rtv will make the gasket! cool I will do this!

Did not appear to be. I might try to use the factory o-rings over winter.

I made a set of gaskets using 1mm thick disk of copper with 4mm dia. holes in it, then put a thick bead of High Temp Silicone Gasket Goop on both sides (holes are used to anchor the silicone). Looks like it will work real good, haven't tried 'em yet.
