2 questions

installing my longtubes this weekend, what brand of manifold gaskets should i use and what type of nuts/bolts/studs should i use on the headers, i want to torque them down enough a couple of times to take care of any leaks that would arise

question 2 is looking at getting a set of roller rockers, crane gold 1.6 rollers, self aligning, what kinda of equipement/accesories do i need to go with these to do it up right and only have to do it once

main idea for me is i want to do a job once, no thought going to price or difficulty, i want to do it right once and not have to worry about it later

Re: 2 questions

I've had good luck with the Mr. Gasket Copper-Seal #7154 header gaskets. Percy's dead-soft aluminum on the collectors if they are flanged. A locking bolt is best, Stage 8 (may be hard to fit the washer against 1-3/4" tubes) or Breslin. Otherwise, the ARP's.
