What t4 gaskets are you guys using? I just pulled apart my manifolds/hot parts, looked at all my welds now that the car had about 1200 miles on it, i also put a vband in the merge to make it 500 times easier to put together and take apart.

I also got rid of the percy's seal 4 good gaskets i was using on the manifolds and went with the oem gm's... Everything looks good, but it looks like a tiny bit of exhuast might be getting past the t4 gasket. Not enough to even really worry about, its not blown out at all. The bolts were all still very tight, and used loc tight when i put it together.

Also do any of you use permatex on the t4 gaskets?


Thanks, Chris

i use copper seal pretty often on the turbo gaskets
they all tend to blow out over time

Cool, thanks man. I think i may through a small bead around it to try to keep it in. I cant see it hurting anything.


Thanks, Chris

Get rid of the gasket, use red glue with lock washers and be done with it. Seriously! If your uncomfortable with that I have used the steel t4 gaskets and red glue together many times, hurts nothing and works great.

What the hell is red glue?
