I just did mine this week but without this specific gasket. She mentions a fault in the design of the OFH itself and not the gasket but of course goes on to introduce a new 'revised' gasket with centering nubs?
When I replaced my gasket I found the typical and general old gasket issue: it's been flattened and leveled with the OFH or nearly leveled and it was much stiffer than a fresh gasket.
It was also really well sat in the gasket 'valley' and wasn't at all loose. In fact, I had to get a pick and pull part of the gasket out because it was so tight in there. So I don't entirely understand the purpose of adding nubs to center the gasket especially when the new one I just threw in fit snug as well.
I wish they could've at least shown both gaskets in the OFH to help illustrate their point better and visually show why this new design is better.
But I'm not about to do this job again for the fun of having a new revised gasket. If it is truly better I'll wait for it to leak again in another 50k or so.
