Not sure what to think.

Just got a NIB rd-logics turbo11 pipe with all the hardware ( side mount exhaust) but it didnt come with a header to engine gasket. So i emailed the guy and asked if the pipe was suposed to come with one and he replied back and said " no those dont use those anymore"
How is that going to seal metal to metal with no gasket?:shrug:


Thank's in advance
C3.

a thin bead of silicon sealent, you could also go to a auto parts store and see if they have a gasket sheet, you could then cut out your own gaskets.
you could also check your lhs they may a few types of gasket that just might fit.
What typer of engine do you have

Associated has some gaskets that should work. Check dynamite stuff as well

O.S cvr .12

So i do need some kind of gasket inbetween?

yes you do.

You will need a gasket; You can actually use any brand. I used a Losi gasket on my GT for a while; you can get a pack of 3 for about $1.50 at your LHS.

or use a thin bead of instant gasket maker make sure it is HIGH TEMP

thats wat i do and it works fine

i use silicone fuel line for mowers.....on my wasp28.....i get it at a hardware store fer bout 15cent a foot and it will make about 12 gaskets if you use the rear exhaust system........find a size in diameter what will fit on the exhaust hole on the engine & cut to 1 inch lengths......slip it on all the way & attatch the header/muffler in the normal way......seals better than most factorymade hobbyshop gaskets & last about the same length of time......

The guy is either a moron or lying to you. You do need a gasket.

speedticket, it is a side mount exhaust, not rear, so it uses a totally different type of gasket.

 

[speedticket75]

side exhaust ? like a model plane engine ? never seen one for nitro cars or trucks......our hobbyshop only has the rear exhaust kind......are they any good ?

 

[HeartBreak]

Side exhaust engines were far more common about 3 years ago. In fact, the vast majority of smallblocks are still side exhaust.

i make my own gasket out of a sheet of gasket material, then i smear some high temp. silicone to make sure it gets sealed.

Sounds cheezy, but you can cut them out of thin cardboard from like a cereal box. That compresses enough to seal. If you're not totally comfy with that, then just put a thin layer of gasket seal on both sides of the cardboard gasket before you wrench it on.

I was hesistant to do use silicone on as a gasket like on a 1:1 car, but it works great. You just have to let it cure properly. I let it sit 24 hours not overnite to cure.

Must be a moron. I asked him again and he said i dont need a gasket. He sells a nice product but apairently doesn't know about what he is selling.
