3.6 Exhaust Port seals/gasket
I am installing European Racing Headers from GT Racing - very nicely made BTW.
The motor is a 95 3.6 but it is in an 86 911! Anyway the headers came with rather cheesy gaskets and I did not know the 993 uses exhaust port sealing rings. So should I reuse the rings and add the gaskets or buy new rings and forget the gaskets? I think I know what the answer will be but I thought I'd ask

I installed Fabspeed headers on my 3.6 conversion and i didn't use the 3.6 sealing rings,only the header gaskets and everything is fine.
For what it's worth the headers were previously installed on my 3.2 and i reused the same gaskets ... Cheers Phil

I wasn't expecting that!
I was waiting for the question, "Do you want it to seal, or do you want it to leak?"

However, this simple project has hit the wall...see anything odd here?

No it doesn't leak ... lol ... and could it be possible the orientation of the
flanges is slightly off ??? Cheers Phil

I have european racing headers installed on a '96 3.6L and used the seal rings. No leaks.
