Thats right. There is no way to possibly heat up the intake manifold or head to a tempature to melt the phenolic material. Thats why we use the phenolic and not some cheap ass plastic. 2 years ago when we were just beginning to make them, they still didnt melt and Matt has had the SAME gasket on his car for 2 years and no problems. No leaks.. and if you do have ANY problems with one of the gaskets you buy from me, I will gladly refund your money.
I have some at my apartment if someone would like to check them out in person and test the fitment, they are perfect fit.
