Just got my Remflex gaskets today, helps to live close. One day service with ground shipping, yay!

Service after installation is the true test but after physically inspecting these things I am impressed. What they remind me of most is the nuclear grade graphite/goretex based packing we used on primary valves in the Nuclear Navy. Ahh, for the good old days when budgets were limitless and Russians were the bad guys--they aren't really, these days they tend to be neighbors.

Anyway, great advice on the Remflex

i put a Remflex in a couple years ago. i let it get bent, but it didn't break off. after inspecting it carefully, and getting some encouragement here, i put it in anyway. it still is sealed up perfectly!

it's a GOOD gasket!

D~~~!

Finished the Remflex install, wow. No way is that going to leak. It looks good too, if that is something that a gasket can do. Amazing how nice the Slant runs without a horrible vacuum leak! The old gasket (only 3 years old) was a tattered wreck. It seems to be constructed of perforated aluminum with a rubbery binder coating. The crap coating couldn't handle the heat and the thus the leaks began.

I would give real money for a 10 pound intake/exhaust manifold pair. Installing that bulky mass in a truck requires a step stool and some really bad leverage on body (the human kind) parts.

Remflex gets my vote!

On yeah, swapped out the Weber 32/36 for a Weber 38/38...very noticeable change in performance. I like it.

Tlrol,

You still have much tuning to do with weber to get mpg and performance.

Cheers, Wizard

Wizard,

You are absolutely right. It is so easy to tweak a Weber that you just have to do it. Next step is to ditch the skinny stock exhaust for some thing that breathes--when I do that the F/A meter O2 sensor goes in the new exhaust. At that point let the tuning begin.
