If I'm not having a problem (that I can see or map on gaskets) why should I
worry? I like new technology to a point but I still use an analog oil pressure
guage on my dyno. Reminds me of a customer who came in with this trick new MLS
(multi layer shim) gasket and said to change out the gaskets I was using, I
said do we have a problem? He replied no but all the "other" racers are using
them!
I'm sure this tool will end up in my box and I'll need it when I install the
heads on the VQ35 Nissan twin turbo I'm building but then again, I haven't
failed a gasket yet.
