Title: header gasket
Post by Matt_greatlakesstate on 06/28/16 at 18:23:58

I just received a header donut gasket. I tried to install it but it seems to be too big for the exhaust flange. I ended up trying to force it and ruined it so I have another one on the way. The donut I took out when I took the pipe off slides in and out without any issues. Why would this new gasket not fit? Am I missing something here?

The gasket material is completely gone out of the one I took out. Its just a metal ring.

Well, Matthew, you're gonna be needing a fresh chunk of aluminium foil.
If you can't just drop the new one in, stop.
Call the supplier.
Stuff like that, I go local. Service, problem solving, much easier.

Well that link you provided is not a factory part......I have no idea what you got, what size it is...what it is supposed to fit.
