Should i use gasket maker on my pacesetter lt's or just use the gasket's i got with the car?

 

Most people would go with and aftermarket gasket other than the cheap paper like ones they give you. I just went ahead and used the ones that they supplied and I haven't had any problems..

How long have you been drivin it with the LT's and how many miles's?I plan on installing new heads so they will come back off in 2 months or so at the most.And did you use you stock plug wires and how hard are the plugs to change now? thhanks

 

The gaskets that come with are fine, but remember to retighten them several times the first few days. Once there is a leak, the gasket can get ruined pretty quickly. Mine finally got tight about the 5th re-tighten job.

 

how tight should i make them i dont have a torque wrench

 

Yea, I just used a boxed end wrench and hand tightened them pretty snug. You obviously don't want to strip the aluminum threads.
