Has anyone used J-tubes like this? I'm guessing they're Brazilian. I picked them up today and I've never seen J tubes like them before. The flanges are not welded, I can't imagine it not leaking unless I weld them.

I don't see an issue with stock size heads and gaskets,
I do like how they appear to curve away from the head a bit more than the typical ones you see.
Guessing from the photo.

You got a full size pic ???

thats actually a decent setup, allows for more crush into the gasket for sealing. I'd run the hell out of those

I wouldn't weld them, if you find they are leaking, I think I would use the "ultra Copper" paste

Got them from Parts Place Inc, in Detroit.
I called and asked if they had any J tubes, that's what they handed me when I picked them up. $30.

I couldn't find them on their site either so I just called and asked if they had any J tubes and that's what they gave me.

Judging from the part number it is a regular JP Group reproduction
