Hope you get to working on your truck soon!Remflex's description of the 7002 says "for header applications." I asked them at the time if I wanted the 7002 or 7010 and never heard a response, so I just went with the 7002. The 7002 says it has "EGR Gaskets" included but I think they are talking about external piping for carb applications, not the manifold gasket (clearly.) It is a little misleading. I noticed during this swap that the shop that assembled this stuff used 4 bolts and 4 studs on the exhaust, rather than 8 studs. With the Remflex it did not matter, it only gets torqued to 20 ft/lbs. But, with the "normal" gasket, I was a bit scared to torque up to 35 ft/lbs. I don't think you can tighten that far into aluminum although I could be wrong. I did not want to risk it. So, there is a slight leak at the flange that maybe would be gone at 35 ft/lbs, i don't even notice it with the radio on. But I will order up some toyota studs when I get the 7010 gasket. Another benefit of the remflex is that it is a thicker gasket, easily double a stock gasket, so if you cut out the unnecessary gasket material between the exhaust and EGR ports, you will be making an even larger channel for the EGR flow.I plan on using a lock washer and standard nut instead of the crimped self-locking nuts.
