I bought a set of gtm resonated tp's. There was no header to to gasket supplied. Gtm said to reuse the stock crush ring. I purchased 2 brand new crush rings for the tp's and discovered that the rings do not fit on male part of the tp flange. I've been tossing up whether to just use rtv copper. Other ideas have been to cut the new crush rings and stretch them around the male part of the tp flange. Then use rtv copper in the gap area. Any thoughts?
