I have had nothing but problems with the Remflex gaskets at the header to side pipe flanges. They say to torque them to 10 to 12 FT/LB. I have tried split washers, star washers and crowned nuts. Some of them loosened and fell off within 20 miles.

I still use the Remflex gaskets at the header to head interface and love them there. Just won't use them at the header to side pipe any longer.

Guess I should add that I used three sets of the flange gaskets and always had the same problems.
