Phenolic spacers

[blackhawk60]

When using these spacers, do you still require the OEM gaskets?

No, not req'd.

Really,you don`t need the metal runner to head gaskets with the spacers?Hmm,on my throttle body phenolic spacer i have actually added a gasket,one on each side.
(I`m not saying your wrong Terry,please don`t take it that way.I meant maybe i added when i didn`t need to.)

That's per Josh. I did use this spray on stuff made by permatex just as a precaution. Not a bad idea on the throttle body, where did you get the phenolic spacer??
BTW - why is this under suspension upgrades??

That's my fault I accidently put it under susp and didn't realize it. Are the spacers protected by an enamel or some type of water seal?

 

[twr]

The spacers do not need any type of coating to protect them from, well most any chemical out there.

I was just concerned with possible water absorbtion.

If they are G10 Phenolic - they will not absorb anything.
