SCDyne Header Collector Gasket

[redlin-er]

The stock collector gasket does not fit, it's too big and leaks. What is everyone using? He hasn't returned my emails nor have I received any of the gaskets he promised since I ordered it in Dec

I got mine yesterday. It had a primary gasket but no collector gasket. I used the old one and had no problems. Try calling him.

Copper RTV is rated for that temperature?

I get the stock collector gasket reused with no problems yet. But I didn't received any primary gaskets, so I reused the stock one.

You have a pre-production header that needs to be exchanged.

Bottom line is that about nothing will keep the collector flange from leaking for long because the flange is cut wrong and it needs to be replaced.

I have started replacing all of the first run of headers as fast as I can, but I just can't afford to do them all at the same time. (or I would for sure!)

This is my first post on the whole scdyne issue. Are you telling this guy you will exchange his gasket, but it won't matter because the header is deffective? Then telling him you don't know when he will get a functioning product, because you already spent the monies made from defective materials. Shit, you had better get a loan and start giving refunds before you start getting taken to small claims.
