Dahoopd said:Just trying to get feeback. I bought the tape because I was told it seals better than the gaskets. Could be a sales pitch. Considering Im a rookie I figured I would try to get some feedback. Atleast updated feedback versus the search. Thanks for the help.
I Have used them several times 4 to be exact and they sealed every time only one time before I used ford sealing tape and it did not seal the tube correctly! I'd go with wynn's gaskets every time!BobGPz said:I tried the tape and screwed it up putting it on and had to buy an extra piece. Then the next time removing my IC Tubes I bought Wynn's (TBird88)reuseable gaskets and have taken them off at least 6 times. The gaskets are finally looking a LITTLE beat as my joints are kinda trashed so time to buy some more.
So lets see??
Set of Wynn's Gaskets to use 6 times = $25
8 Pieces (Per application) of overpriced two-way teflon tape X 6 applications = $$$$$
Go with the gaskets..BTW Wynn had those in the mail to me the same day my money order arrived, and from TX to WA in two days.
BobGPz said:Damon, What O-Rings? I have no O-rings in my IC Tubes. The teflon tape I was refering to is the Ford two sided sticky tape. I was told it was made from teflon. The collar nut is the only threaded area and I have been using Anti-Seize on that.
AnnivSpeCpe said:I concur. There are no o-ring seals on the i/c tubes.
Yeah Bird, That's a class offer. But it looks like you won't have to replace too many. I think only some of the hard-core racer types will ever need to take advantage of replacement. For most of us I think we'll never wear them out. Kudos to Wynne. Johntbird88 said:Geez...gonna hafta put you guys on commision, hope you can survive on fajitas & Coronas!
Thanks for the endorsements but after just over 500 sets (I'm not kidding) a set finally wore out. I believe Bill M up in Canada said sumthin' about squeezin' the last bit of life outa his set. Maybe I should offer a lifetime warranty? Send in your old ones for a free set of new ones? I think that would work pretty well, whatcha think?
