TIA

Fel Pro's are on mine(LPE's) from the head to header. There's no loc tite on my bolts either I found out. They're just "Cranked" I was told!
Wait'll you feel how much better the motor is going to breathe once those puny manifolds come off. :yesnod: :smash:

Mr. Gasket sells a very nice copper gasket. They come with lock washers which I didn't even use. I used ARP header bolts and lubricated them with ARP assembly lubricant. So far none of them have even begun to back out and it's been several months.

perceys double thick aluminum, for the header and the summit aluminum for the collector, stop by and look at mine closely sometime, they are by far the best i've used yet & that would include fel-pro, sce and the generic graphite composite.

Aren't you the same guy that had that lifter that went bad and found out it was just that your headers came loose? :jester I think I will try what come with the headers unless someone say that the ones that come with the kit are junk.

You have any problem with the gaskets leaking?
