Quote from: Karguy on July 27, 2026, 01:20:05 AMThese gaskets are very rigid and don't feel like gaskets of today. They feel like they'd be very easy to snap in half if you weren't careful.

    Those "white" fiber gaskets were always 'sorta' stiff and didn't lend to being bent far, but over time, if only of decades sitting on a shelf, they become quite rigid and absolutely brittle; this to the point of not being of any great value other than as for visual representations.  :)

I mounted them on my engine with my new Concourse headers and they work perfect, no problems whatsoever.
