whoops
wonder if anyone else's had done this.... wasnt like this when i installed it.. does it slip out over time?
you're lucky you didnt strip the bolts out. the object is not to get it as tight as humanly possible.
I'd say you overtightened it a bit.
I worked mine in a cross pattern and torqued them; while first making sure the gasket was seated and staying put.

What did you torque it to? 100000ft/lbs?
He might not have over tightend it! When I did the testing on the gaskets about 10 years ago. I seen the same thing on my Camaro.
I'm sure Bob knows what happened!

Mine does not look like that at all. I just made the bolts snug. And i dont believe the shift stop should be used.

Mine did the same thing I was there when the mechanic was tightening it down and it was nice and easy, I think as the bolt was turning it caught the gasket and ripped. He was using an air ratchet but slow, maybe next time a little lube on the bolt and no air tool. RTV and all is good my MGW is quiet anyway. I still think the gasket is good idea I`ll buy two next time.
COBRA bobs would never do that. I have always wondered though, if you couls stack 2 on top of eachother to make it thicker... :shrug:

Why would you not just PM him about this or Email him.
Looks over-tightened or over-torqued.
Not CobraBobs fault
I also think it looks like it was overtightened. I used locktite on the bolts on mine to keep them from loosening over time.
