The two gaskets in this set are made from 100 percent flexible graphite, chosen for their thick, compressible profile and reliable performance across heat cycles. This configuration supports a tight seal even when flange surfaces show minor imperfections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs exhaust systems heat up and cool down, flange assemblies can shift and warp. The 1\/8 inch thick gasket is designed to crush about 50 percent to fill gaps up to 1\/16 inch, helping to bridge small pits and uneven areas. This capability is particularly useful when joining dissimilar materials such as aluminum cylinder heads with steel headers, where contraction and expansion can create persistent gaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get and how it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSet of 2 gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal 3 inch collector flange with 3 bolt holes and 3-3\/8 inch bolt hole spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThick, compressible profile that seals gaps in imperfect flanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose a graphite gasket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100 percent flexible graphite with no rubber binders or composites that can shrink or harden\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned to maintain a solid seal across heat cycles without relying on frequent retightening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResilient in the face of the expansion and contraction common to dissimilar materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReal world use and tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese gaskets are well suited for retrofit projects, vintage builds, or any setup where flange surfaces show pits or slight misalignment. Start with clean mating surfaces, align bolt holes, and apply a gradual, even torque to help the gasket reach its sealing potential.
