Any problems running a used IMG?

Does it "crush" like a metal gasket?

or

Retain it's shape b/c it's plastic?

Leaks?

 

it would not hurt to use it more than once, atcualy the hondata gasket expands when its torq'd down, the gasket hangs over the inside of manifold, protruding into the intake manifold runners,.


i actualy took mine off twice to trim it up a bit so this wouldnt happen, and to insure maximum airflow.....

 

Thanks.

 

Hate for this thread to go to waste...

So, here's some clean eg's.

 

I was under the impression the manifold overlap was on purpose to promote "anti-reversion" So, exhaust didn't go into the intake during valve overlap.
