So I just replaced my exhaust and used a cork sheet to cut out some gaskets. I am pretty sure I read about using the cork sheet on this board. I had some scraps left and decided to see how flammable it is today. Turns out it burns pretty easily with just a lighter.

I tried to find the temperature of a lighter flame, and all I could find is 1977 Celsius (which seems way hotter than a ligther really would be).

Anyway, should I expect my car to burst into flames next time I am driving? New metal gaskets will be on order tomorrow regardless.

 

it will probly smell bad and yes burn, nothing else around there will probly catch fire unless u have an oil leak and it got on the undercarraige. regardless its a bad idea.
