Stock Header Gaskets?
OK, how many members have simply used the stock 'header' gaskets and bolts? I have a 2001 z06, and have heard different stories. Would my existing gaskets/bolts be fine for this installment? If not, any recommendations? Also, for the PRT B&B are going on this week. Any advice

Lets just say you develop a leak right between to ports because you re-used the old stuff. Wait! You develop an exhaust leak because the old bolt head popped off from all the exstreem heating and cooling back and fourth. Could you have over torque that bolt? All that labor again. Buy new, can't be all that much $$.
