Default Does this look right to you.

HEY GUYS!

Im new to the forum thanks for having me!

was installing gaskets between an obx header and obx ypipe.

ring gaskets im using are http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Re...Dp%3d3%26N%3d0

anyway the flanges dont touch each other. i havent tightened any of the bolts down or anything just threaded the nuts on to hold the pipe up. but is this normal? will the gaskets crush together when i torque the bolts or not? please help.

First off welcome. From what I recall when doing this, there's a gasket in the exact size of the flanges that's crushed.
