Why get the whole kit instead of just the gasket?To get really serious... Swap out to the 3/8" flange and work the holes to fit.. Toyota is 48mm from hole to hole
The gasket works perfectly for me all by itself...Best exhaust gasket i have ever used on my Zeda 80 triple 40...No more exhaust leakage...DAMIENWhy get the whole kit instead of just the gasket?
Because the thick flange will absorb more heat and not distort which is 1/2 the reason the gaskets fail... More meat to port match...Why get the whole kit instead of just the gasket?
My flange is pretty thick and I only paid $3.95 for it on Amazon. I am just asking you why pay $10 more for all those extra parts when all you are gonna use is the gasket?Because the thick flange will exsorb more heat and not distort which is 1/2 the reason the gaskets fail... More meat to port match...
I'll use all the parts LoL..My flange is pretty thick and I only paid $3.95 for it on Amazon. I am just asking you why pay $10 more for all those extra parts when all you are gonna use is the gasket?
Dorman 47021 Gasket For Oxygen Sensor Compatible with Select Toyota Models.
You really won't need the flange...The gasket is a mix of both metal frame and gasket material that conforms quite well even if the surface might be a little uneven...Heat distortion doesn't even come into play with the Zeda's because of the ceramic lining in the cylinder...I have used the same gasket even in my old Seeutec that i put 6000 miles on and the gasket never leaked, always worked flawlessly just the way it is.I'll use all the parts LoL..
Apologies for my snarkyness. I didn't see that other piece today. My phone isn't helpful to my eyes and I thought it was a gasket with two studs. I can see how that flange would help you get more even pressure on the gasket. I already have to tighten one of my exhaust bolts with pliers cuz I can't get a hex in there. I know, I know. I need to get some studs in there.I'll use all the parts LoL..
I changed all four of my studs out to using bolts after that one stud snapped on me...Zero problems with them now, they don't loosen up either since i use lockwashers and blue locktite on them as well...My exhaust and intake were already with bolts but also made sure to secure them in the same way, they never loosen up on me so no need to tighten them.I need to get some studs in there.
I got hex bolts in my exhaust. I can't get to one so good thing it has a round head and I have my 23 year companion 6" Craftsman Robogrips. I've been through a lot with those pliers. I posted a picture of them on FB and my aunt scolded me for how beat up they were. Said she's had appliances for longer that look better. I told her if I only used them once they'd look good too!!!I changed all four of my studs out to using bolts after that one stud snapped on me...Zero problems with them now, they don't loosen up either since i use lockwashers and blue locktite on them as well...My exhaust and intake were already with bolts but also made sure to secure them in the same way, they never loosen up on me so no need to tighten them.
