Re: Gaskets (score: 1): Author: "William Davies" <bill@rarebits4classics.co.uk>; Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2003 18:13:27 -0000; We often sell these gakets in pairs - one for the manifold, one to go in the glovebox for next time.....

Are you saying that it is going to be impossible to create an exhaust-gas-tight joint without a gasket? If so, I would agree!
