Post Best exhuast gasket?
Have 36 PD with Iron Mountain Heads and BPS Q exhaust. I think they have been on for 30-40 hours and I have an exhaust gasket that's gone.

What would cause a gasket to wear out that fast?

Any recommendations on good replacement gaskets? Bolt size? Blue lock tight?

I used Garloc gasket material and it works great. Find a gasket making company and they'll probably give you some from scrap.

I bought a set if these a few years ago, on the forums recommendation and haven't had an issue. They are about 3 times the thickness of the stock gasket.
