Tom,
I bought the rubber set from the factory with intentions of using them.
When I pulled them out of the package I noticed the back gasket had a slight
skew to it. It was bent up slightly. I tried to bend the gaksket and metal
piece, but I had no luck. Finally, out of frustration, I threw the rubber
one's on the ground and went with the supplied cork ones. Like Bernd and
Ron said...a good supply (but not to much!) of High-Temp RTV on the top,
bottoms and corners did the trick. So far no leaks. I also let the truck
sit for 24+ hours before I drove it. I've made 4 dyno pulls and several
street runs on it since then. Probably only a few 100 miles total though.
I'll monitor it closely this season...but I don't think you can go wrong
either way.
Good luck!
