Mordy...
You kinda lost me after the second sentence. All this inhomogeneous talk tends
to disturb me.
I don't think I'm homophobic. I hope not.
But when these terms come up...I don't know...I get nervous.

PS And Happy New Year to all FOTers of the Jewish persuasion. The rest of us
have to wait almost four more months.

Composite Fiber gasket material has internal micro gas pockets. Depends on the
quality and repeatability of the original gasket material. When heated the
gas expands and seeps out from areas of least resistance. Perhaps after a few
heat / cool cycles all those internal gas pockets that were present when New
have been vacated. The gasket then creeps upon itself and becomes
imperceptibly thinner. Hence the original axial tension is now reduced.
Perhaps some parts of the gasket are more inhomogeneous than others and leads
to a mismatch in "torque". That's the nature of an inhomogeneous materials.
Anyways that's how I put it together. Best MordyMDunst Headgasket.com
