Not starting an argument or pi$$^#@ contest at all. I'm just saying that as a master tech for over 20 years, I just never even thought of using a gasket on 1 side only, there have been spacer plates on production cars for years and I've always seen gaskets on both sides. Any gasket that was metal was either very thin or a soft alloy that crushed to cause a seal. The only places manufacturers would put metal to metal flanges together without a gasket/or sealant was on the exhaust side. I really don't think this is dumb. You guys are complaining about making a rule for the sake of a rule are the same guys that want to make the extra work of issuing new log books to cars with a 1.8 swap because they feel the VIN number should change. That's an unnecessary waste of time.
Totally false I am complaining about making a rule for rules sake just because the CCC ask for the rule...
Never did I or anyone else that thinks the gasket rule is bs has said anything about a new log book.
I could care less if you want to make your 2005 car into a 91 as long as you make all the appropriate changes. I think the body swaps are no big deal and I couldn't care less if we even have a stupid log book, the only person that cares about a log book imo is a tech guy because he has always had to look at one, as for wheelers argument about notations in a log book imo that only happens 1 in 100 incidences so who cares. I have lost log books and replaced had them give me new one and didn't even say replacement on it.
If the rule is being made to keep a performance issue from cropping up then OK but to make a rule because a CCC ask for a rule is a waist of the smac time imo.
Anyone feel free to dyno with rp no gasket and then put in gasket and tell me the difference. I have raced since 2010 without a gasket never failed a stall test it any other test.
I did fail spelling in 1st grade though...
