Ex gaskets heart failure
I knew Porsches were expensive but the cost of exhaust gaskets for a 79 are out of sight. $72 from Performance, $52.50 from Pelican (plus UP$ shipping).
I want to put on a cat tester (for testing), repair a leaky cross over pipe, put in exhaust port plugs and decided that the fastest way, if not the only way, to do it was to drop the exhaust system. Then I looked up the cost of heat exchanger to head gaskets. In the 80's we bought nice copper/aspetos gaskets for a buck a pop. These prices are crazy. Questions" Are they reusable? (Never been acceptable proceedure to reuse exhaust gaskets in the past, but Porsche may be different.) Why are they stainless steel?
