    Name one OE application for "gasketless" exhaust manifolds.
    Or whose manifold looks like the Sanderson example.
    Good discussion.

    I am well aware of the definition of creep. Sanderson has been using their gasket less design for quite some time. Risky move if the design could damage someones $1000 + set of AFR heads.

    Ford didn't use gaskets on the 5.0l V8 used in F150 or on the 4.0l V6 used in the Ranger. GM didn't use gaskets on the 6.5l diesel or on many of the SBC put in the Corvettes, Camaros, Blazers, etc.

      "Perfectly flat and not damaged in any way".

      LoL.

      Note that this in no way describes the Sanderson product.

      It's not a reliable seal as soon as any corrosion or even embedding of dirt happens on either surface. Note that the manual also specifies that as soon as the inevitable happens, use a gasket.

      I've never run across a gasketless SBC.
