X flow copper exhaust gaskets

[Nick T]

Hi,

 

After a set of X Flow copper exhaust gaskets. All of the normal Burton type large bore keep blowing.

 

Cheers

Hi Tried that, none in stock and no idea when they will get some in.

Found these on flea bay here. Look a bit like the Cometic style gasket so may be ok.

 

Scholar may also be able to help, as they build Formula Ford crossflows.

[Nick T]

Thanks, at that price might be worth a go. I will also contact Scholar

Nick,

 

I might have a set (or two) lurking somewhere in the garage or shed (though can't be bothered to check right now .. .. but if Burtons large bore ones keep blowing I would recommend checking the flatness of your flanges, or chewcking to see if the securing bolts are bottoming out before the gasket is fully nipped,

 

I tried the copper ones , then had the flanges machined and now use the normal Burtons type gaskets,

Hi Dave,

 

I will check the flatness of the flanges next time I change the gasket. The bolts are not bottoming out as I have run a tap right through.

 

If you have got any copper ones (well the centre on really) hiding in the shed I would appreciate you having a look.

 

Cheers

Didn't get chance at the weekend.

 

Will try to have a look tonight

One set of (used, but perfectly serviceable) copper exhaust gaskets found.

 

Will take them in to work tomorrow.

 

Give me a call on 01978 xxxxxx sometime during the day and I'll get them in the post to you,

 

DAve.
