What's goin on guys, just wanted to know if I should use an actual gasket and some rtv gasket when installing my vf3's or only the rtv ? I'm about to install some new reeds to see if that's what was makin my blasty run like sh*t so if someone could help me out quick that'd be awesome ! Thanks
V-Force 3 reeds gasket question ?

yep, use the gasket with a very thin coat of hi-temp rtv on both sides, between the reeds and cylinder
a stock intake has built in rubber gasket, most aftermarket intakes require an additional gasket/rtv between it and the reeds
a leakdown test should be performed after the rtv has cured, to verify it is leakproof

Aright cool thanks bro I appreciate the help ... I'm buying a leakdown tester from slick as soon as I can get to the post office, I know havin a 2 stroke means you better do a leakdown test frequently or ill be goin through pistons like boxers haha. Thanks again !
Last night after installing my new reeds I snapped one of the bolts on the intake : ( I know I probably torqued down a little harder then I should have but I think it was just too damn cold out for the bolt ( it was snowing out and I didn't have my heater running in my garage ). So now I'm at a stand still until I can get more bolts for my intake. ONLY FU**IN ME ! ! ! Anyone know where I can order o.e.m. bolts for blasters without having to spend three times more $ for shipping then the actual parts ?
I would lap any vf3 cage.They are never 100% flat when you get them,atleast none I have seen yet.Gaskets and a very very thin coat of high temp rtv will work best.
