Yes you told me to ditch the gasket on my manifold. I did do so on e as well but it all melted out. To be fair , I used the ultra copper that is rated at 500*. Now, at that point, my cam was still mechanically retarded 6* and light load/light throttle runs, the manifold began to glow red.  to the point that a solid 5 mins at idle and it started to dim in color. The easy light drive through  trail to the gate and then low rpm slow ru  on asphalt to camp should've been enough to dim/cool the glowing red manifold.   

I say that because the ultra copper didn't stand a chance at those heat levels. This is why this manifold has warped and I've lost 3 copper gaskets.

That is great info ! So optimum grey 27036 is rated for exh mainfold/headers. Interesting.

at 15:06 i cannot believe that made it out of any shop.

these are mainly video's from joe fabs shop in glamis. i find them entertaining due to the different variety of carnage that comes in. cannot imagine what they charge for labor rates or parts ! in several video's, they reference gear one DEEP CRYOGENIC TREATMENT cv's and gear one axles on hand, those aren't cheap. i may not agree with how the repairs are made but i do understand the why.   what i do know is that when someone with his experience, tells you what needs to be done to properly fix an issue, one should listen 

the guy at 9:49 didn't want to hear it
