I just got my hondata gasket today and noticed there were no washers with it. I read a old thread about people using the washers supplied with the gasket. Do they still come with washers or did they stop that when they stopped making the 2 versions? Just need 2 know if i gotta contact seller. TIA

 

washers for what?

 

i guess it came with insulated washers to put on b4 the bolts thats what i read in archived threads.

 

huh. never seen/read that. I have one but havent installed it yet. are you going to use just the gasket or are you going to RTV both sides?

 

RTV is a horrible idea for an air gasket.

 

well i dont have a "hondata" gasket. its kinda made out of some sort of plastice. (mycrolly)

 

how hard is it? you could put an oem gasket on either side of it if you had to.

 

pretty sold.

 

Not sure what to say, call them?

Buy quality products

 

yeah lol i bought hondata.

in that thread 3 people talk about the washers.

anyone else know if they still supply washers?

 

there were no washers with mine

 

mine didnt come with washers.
I dont think the nut is going to heat up your manifold...
if you want to get really technical then they should come with little sleeves that cover the stud

 

They used to come with washers a long time ago. They have not included washers for some time now.

 

thanks thats what i needed to know

 

the washers are useless, all they do id squish out when you tq it down

and theres no need for any sealant, the gasket itself will seal fine

Mine did not come with washers either. I was thinking about putting in longer studs because that biatch is thick as hell.

 

yeah i was kinda shocked didnt know it was that much thicker. good to know im not missing ne thing lol. now wheres my other parts....hate waiting

 

are you guys using longer studs because with that thick *** gasket all my nuts on the IM are only catching by 2 or 3 threads. Its sturdy but makes me alittle nervous. I have some longer studs I can use but i dont want to go through the trouble if ppl have had it like this with no problems.

 

what i read in the archives was people wernt using longer studs. i wasnt planning on it hopefully i wont havta lol

 

No neeed for longer studs ,washers ,or gasket makers. Install as is

 

just curious, what kind of gains do you see with the hondata gasket?

yeah, theres dyno plots on their site but i dunno it is what it is. i bought mine for ease of install (and removal) and the fact its thicker for euro r

 

the best gains i have seen is being able to reuse the gasket multiple times! it sure beats scraping the damn paper one off!
