I just ordered my MAC headers and want to get everything I need to install.

What kind of gaskets?
What to put on the ARP header bolts?
Any kind of sealents?
anything else?

 

Do a search, I've seen this question asked about every week.

 

From what ive read there is an annoying leak on all the MACs drives side collectors. Ive read before you can put some sealent on the ball joint or something? What kind of sealent do I use?

Ive also read some 95s need 02 extensions while some dont. hmm

 

I dont know if autozone or any other large chain store sells patience lol. j/k

Man , i didnt need o2 extensions. I will tell you one thing that I did use, Percy's Dead soft aluminum gaskets. I blew out the ones that came out of the kit within 30 minutes. they were paper ones. then i bought the aluminum and have not had a single leak yet. As a matter of a fact i re-used them after taking my heads off and it still seals like there is no tomorrow.

good luck man!

 

ttt, i need more info on the drivers side collector leaks.

What do you put on the header bolts? anti seize or loctite?

 

 

I coated mine with anti seize but I have Stage 8 locking header bolts. You want to put some anti sieze on there so they won,t get welded into the head. Same with spark plugs.

 

my recomendation, do what I did and go look on Brent Frankers site for a writeup by Injuneer about how to install JBA headers...it has part numbers and everything. I used that writeup when I installed my SLP's and it helped a lot.
