SL6 Dan has the link to the Aussie gaskets if your use the search function on this site. Look for a link to GPRS gaskets.

As an option I am using www.remflex.com graphite gaskets and we have had very good luck with them. They are very thick and will work well if you don't have time to machine the manifold faces. The key is to torque them a 5 inch pounds instead of 10 or more. They do not need to be torqued more than 5" pounds on the SL6.

This is the email contact. mrmopar@iprimus.com.au
it took them a while to respond but they were friendly and quoted a reasonable price. give them a shot, best manifold gaskets for the slant, bar none.

Thanks for the info guys.
Hey Frank! This is the site that I learnned about FABO years and year and years ago (2001 or 2002). I was on under another name but I can't remember what it was. I was alo on slantsix.com then came over here and checked on .com later and it was dead. What ever happened on .com?

i remember trying to join that site years ago and the administrators never bothered to activate my membership, from what i saw of that site it was little more than ill-mannered in-fighting. we have always behaved ourselves here more or less, and less politics equals more good, no-nonsense information.

who needs 'em. those who know, come here. on this site you are dining at the table with kings. it's a true privilege. enjoy!
