There is no valid reason to put on a gasket dry. I have yet to replace ANY paper gasket on ANY airplane that I've installed them on with a light coat of Titeseal. Period!

Across many forums and this one included....plugs gapped EVERY 50 hours to 0.016-0.018" and the inlet gaskets........wel they seem to last 250 hours :mad: And that is sad to say.
Last weekend I found two intake leaks on a RV7 that had 140 hrs. If it helps the red SUPERIOR gaskets seem to last longer. Glad you are onto these things! :) |
800 hours

David do you know where to order red SUPERIOR gaskets from? ACS seems don't have them. Also I would appreciate part ## on intake hoses. I would like to replace them they became very hard and edges are crumbling. O-320 here :) ![]() |
Interesting.
We built my IO-360-A1A in 2006, it has 1100+hours now, runs beautifully, never messed with intake gaskets and has never given any signs of an intake leak.

Do you suspect it?s the MOGAS that is causing this problem? |

I burn a lot of ethanol laced premium gas straight from the pump. I suspect it affects certain rubber parts and gaskets. I don't have access to pure 92. |

1,024 hours
... aaand here we go again :D
![]() I thought Aero-in-stock have Superior gaskets but they sent me regular. So far I tried three different supplies of intake gaskets. All leak after couple hundred hours. Or maybe I install them wrong. I also bought and replaced intake hoses. They look very funny totally deformed but didn't leak. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() All new. ![]() |
