Gasket Problem With V-10 Truck Engine Solved

Gasket Problem With V-10 Truck Engine Solved ENGINES Mike Anderson Chichester New Hampshire recently called FARM SHOW to tell us how he saved money repairing the V-10 gas engine on his Ford dump truck “The problem is that the gasket between the head and exhaust manifold is too thin and has very little ‘give’ to it ” says Anderson “As a result in cold weather the exhaust manifold cools quickly and the gasket contracts causing the bolts in the gasket to break off inside the block The gasket then has to be replaced at a cost of about $1 300 “This problem happened 3 different times on my truck’s engine The last time I asked the dealer to install a different gasket that had more cushion but he said the company wouldn’t approve of that I said I don’t care what the company says because I can’t afford to keep replacing gaskets I called the company to ask for a different gasket but they said nothing else on the market would work on my engine ” So 1 1/2 years ago Anderson went to a local hotrod machine shop and paid $75 for a new Remflex Exhaust gasket ph 866 641-7325; www info@remflex com “The Remflex gasket is a full 1/8 in thick which produces a cushioning effect so it won’t warp And it can withstand engine temperatures up to 3 000 degrees ” says Anderson “Problem solved ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Mike Anderson Chichester New Hampshire mdandy@gmail com
