pacesetter lt header gasket...

i was doing the !AIR, and !EGR on my car yesterday and noticed a gapping hole in the gasket between the block and the header. the hole was burnt through the gasket before it had even had 100 miles on it.. and just leme tell you; its the worst ticking, putting-like noise EVER... anyways i called the mech that did the install and we both know thats not supposed to happen so he was gonna put a new one on for free.. kinda like warrenty work. anyways where can i find some LT header gaskets? i know they are cheap but i cant find them anywhere :/ links please. and i have pacesetter LT headers.. gee.. mayb i should give pacesetter a call? >_<

and im not sure if it was a crappy gasket or if the mech didnt align it up right and a little might have been hanging down in the exhaust hole and gotten burned that way.. thats my guess..

Hey buddy sorry about ur header gasket...that crap sucks man.

Calling Pace Setter for another gasket is pry a good idea. Or you could try Mr.Gasket and have your choice of different styles right

here and I even took the liberty of doing the search for you on the site.

At the make/model search desk thing to the side it has the "product line" just go down the list until you see "gasket, exhaust manifold" and it'll give you a list of products you can choose from.

Btw buddy I sent you a email like a week ago and one today. Haven't heard from you for awhile and I was getting a lil worried lol. Hit me back and let me know what's new.
