Re: header

I use felpro exhaust mainifold gaskets(the silver metalic ones) on headers. Have had very few issues after putting them in instead of the paper header gaskets.

Same here, only mine are made by DANA, and instead of one big gasket for the whole header there are actually three separate mini-gaskets per side - one for the front cylinder, one for the rear, and one for the two middle ones.
