Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to prep the header and manifold surfaces before installing this gasket?
Clean both mating surfaces with a wire brush to remove carbon buildup and old gasket material. A clean, flat surface improves sealing. You don't need to sand or prime — just scrape it bare.
Can I reuse the original bolts, or do I need new ones?
Reuse is fine if the bolts are straight and threads are clean. If any bolts spun or won't torque consistently, replace them. Refer to your service manual for the correct torque spec.
What's the warranty if this gasket leaks after installation?
Contact ModSupply directly with photos of the leak and your receipt. We'll review the installation and determine next steps — whether it's a replacement or a refund.
