Default LT1 Header Gaskets

Any recommendations on header gaskets for a 94 LT1. Currently, I am running stock exhaust manifold gaskets, and having a hard time keeping them sealed.

I've had good luck with the Mr. Gasket copper gaskets. The trick is getting them tight the first time. I used some ARP assembly lube on the bolts, that seemed to do the trick, I haven't had the first bolt start to loosen after 6000 miles.

I have a new set of Mr. Gasket LT1 copper header gaskets for sale if you want them. I was asking $25 shipped. I was told copper was the way to go.
But they didn't fit my headers since I ported them. Let me now if you want them. I have pictures too. :cheers:

I chose Earls from Summit to go with my TPIS longtubes on my 95, they were a little pricey at over $30 but very nice quality and are supposed to be reuseable. :thumbs:
