Good quality. Had to get these for my Oldsmobile.. The fiberglass composite gaskets i got before from Mr gasket blew out into pieces less than 500 miles

Sorry to say this is a made in China part.Both engine cylinder head edges and exhaust manifolds flange edges need to be very clean for a proper fit.Also after you have scraped and thoroughly cleaned your exhaust manifolds and cylinder heard flanges. You need to check your parts with a straight edge.If you can see a any open areas from flame erosion / cutting from a long time exhaust leak... Then look for any cracks that might be hidden.If you can see any light between the straight edge and your parts. Change your manifolds. As you cant tighten up the exhaust manifolds enough to cure a large leak. On a good note, after I found that the new copper gaskets were leaking on the old manifolds... I was able to clean the copper gasket and use it a second time on a different set of manifolds.You know what they say... you can't polish a turd.So wear your gloves on this job. I have Inclosed a few pictures: 1. Of the old low mileage fel pro exhaust gasket that was burned out. 2. Is a picture of both sides of the new copper gasket that failed?Have your razor knife, and a sharp putty knife plus a assortment of wire brushes and a good torque wrench then have at it. The cleaner the surface the better these will work. With any luck you will bring back a long neglected engine.With the other amazon parts, I was able to more than double the SB Oldsmobile fuel mileage. To over 21 MPG on the open road.These exhaust manifold gaskets might seal minor leaks, but they can't replace missing cast steel.As much of a un fun job this turned out to be, The sweet sound of a quite engine was worth all of the extra work.Stay safe, use your jack stands and block the rear wheels.
