Installing spintechs with reflex gaskets. I know the packaging says no silicone but do you guys apply some anyway?
What's your method for no leaks

And no silicone on the remflex plate to header?

I'd use the remflex gaskets between plates and head personally. Seems the rtv is hit or miss with getting a good seal. And if using a gasket you shouldn't need rtv.

This last go around I used copper RTV between my one piece plates and the head, as well as between the plates and headers. I do have Remflex collector gaskets though. Use the appropriate length hardware with lock washers...good to go.

Oh, just like Joe mentioned, I let the RTV set up a bit before I torque them down.

Any guys use lock washers on the Allen's to hold the plates on? Or no just lock tight or?

Kyle, do it right and buy a set of Richard's motor mounts. after spending all that money, that would be cheap insurance.
