as the title says, i got a header leak, it turned out my gasket is bad. darn stock gaskets, i guess edelbrock did not include a good gasket. anyone knows which one is the best to get, and where, also the part number...thanks guys

 

I used UltraSeal gaskets from Autozone while installing my headers, and I am very happy with them, no problems so far. ( Watch my gaskets burn tomorrow, me and my big mouth. ) Good luck man.

 

Felpro 1406 are the best.

the guy over in superior automotive (anaheim, CA) told me that. does summit sell them?? if so, what's the part number, thanks a lot. what would i do without you guys (i wont have to buy these headers)

 

I got my felpros from Thunderpreformance.com. I got 2 sets because the shippn was the same as for 1 set and I know Ill need them down the road sometime.

 

Get the factory metal manifold gaskets. They're a 2 piece type metal gasket. I used em on my Mac's twice and had no leaks whatsoever.

 

I've been using the same Felpro gaskets for nearly 2 years now without any problems, they definitely get my recommendation. The part number is 1406, they are the "D" port gaskets.

 

I am using the stockers and I do have leak that driving me nuts!!

 

what he means is factory metal gaskets. I used em and theyre great. If a bolt loostens up and you get a leak, you simply tighten the bolt and the leak goes away. Theyre almost blow proof.

 

I have stage 8's so i doubt that the bolt loosend up.

is it possible that the header is warped?

 

I noticed in an article in a recent "Camaro Performers" that they used some soft aluminum gaskets from Flow Tech (part #99150AFLT). Does anyome have any experience with these?

 

I tried them and they still leaked alittle.....plus I had to drill some more holes in them because the didnt match up with the headers and that was a PITA.
