Default Hondata IM gasket sealing Question

I got my Hondata IM gasket, *Copy* And its just a plastic 1/4" plastic gasket shape thing. My question is do I need to put normal gaskets on both sides of this thing? Or does the plastic seal? Maybe add some high temp goop for good measure.

Thanks,
Captain

This is a "true" hondata gasket but you get the idea. Whether there is a difference, I have no idea.

to answer your question. No you dont have to put any gaskets or "goop" on it.... just slap it on and tighten it down and it will work fine.....

Ok thanks, Well if it leaks i'll know right away, anyway. Just wasn't sure how it would hold up to 25psi.

If installed correctly, it will no problem. Make sure both surfaces are perfectly clean. Good luck.
