Are all Header gaskets the same?

using the Earl's. Best header gasket I've ever used.
No, but you can get the felpros there. Many people use the felpros with success.
I used Copperseals at first but the raised crush area overlapped with the ports on my slp headers and therefore didn't seal completely where there was a crease created at the overlap/nonoverlapping location. They made a good seal, no significant audible ticking, but upon removal you could see black soot from leakage. I believe the AL gaskets operate the same way and have a raised area intended to be crushed down. Chances are they would work fine but to avoid the potential problem of the port overlapping and not crushing that part as designed i would recommend the felpros. You can get them anywhere vs ordering the copper and AL ones and they are cheaper too.
