>>>Two questions:

1)   Did you test-fit the system before you had it coated?   Any system 
might need some 'percussive engineering' to make it fit, so it would be a shame 
if you had to mangle your coating.

2)   We have a set we're about to install on Lori's Pantera; for religious 
reasons more than anything else, we'll be forgoing the included individual 
gaskets (which would be a real pain in the ass to use) and use top-notch 
Remflex gaskets:
