HFC Gasket?

woodsjo3 · 08-13-2010, 12:55 PM

BTW this forum rocks. I just purchased my first mod. Well a used mod. I purchased a BERK HFC. My question is, can I reuse the old gasket or do I have to pay another $27 for Berk to send me a new one. I'll pay if it will leak. Or can I pick up one at a local autozone? Thanks for the help again!

You can reuse them. But if they are burned or if there is any leak after leak testing then get new gasket

You will need to use the new gasket supplied with the Berk HFCs from the header connection with the HFCs. There is no gasket stock because there is a bevelled edge with the stock cats that seal to the headers. The Berks do not have this and therefore will leak like crazy (ask me how I know).

Just use the supplied gaskets.

That is correct, it's always a good thing to replace used gaskets to insure no leaks. Have Fun
