Rob offered to send me a couple of gaskets to evaluate and then pay for.

Not having tested his product, I can't say good or bad.

Larry and Bruce (Goatman) make good points about
cheaper stuff being available.

My opinion is I will never use his gasket or ANY
gasket on a fast (big HP) engine as I will have
plugged the heads for water and will be using a
stainless or Gas compression ring to seal the
combusion pressures. No gaskets, no leaks at
30 psi boost pressures. Marty Palbykin initially
used the gas rings I got him from Don Vesco (a
famous Bonneville Land Speed Record holder) but
the $400.00 for 8 rings sent Marty to building his own special solid ring. They worked as well and cost a lot less. Tom V.
