Post subject:  please take a look at my Remflex manifold gasket
it was a hassle, but i finally got a gasket that may be worth using, this is my 4th attempt in getting a good gasket.
first i tried purchasing an aussie, but it came broken in half.
2nd i tried to order a remflex, it came in broken on the end
3rd they sent me a 3inch 2bolt flange gasket as a replacement.....
4th this one seems doable but ill let you experts who have used these quite a bit decide.

it seems fairly scratched up, like it was rolling around with a tiny pebble underneath it. i know this thing does seal up to 1/16 inch of imperfection, but i just want to see if you guys have used remflex gaskets in similar condition.

Post subject:  Yep...
I have reused remflex gaskets that looked like that, should be OK.

Reused? Thought these aren't reuseable

I have used ones that were folded, and they worked.That scratched one looks fine.If you call remflex them selves, they will work with you.
Just my 2 cents.

:lol:

If you spray the manifold sides with PAM and use the advised torque, you can do a manifold swap as long as the PAm worked and the coating didn't self destruct they are good for one more manifold install and retorque at 15 lbs... I only get 2 installs then it's toast.
