Header gasket
Gentilmen
Need help on what's the best header gasket to use on the LS engines, I installed new headers and the factory gaskets they provided, gaskets lasted 2 days before one started leaking on passenger side and it has a code P1153 now. Need to fix this week but I want the best gastet and I know you guys have done this for a long time and have the correct answers. Thanks alot....

if you're blowing the factory gasket you need to check the header flange to make sure it's flat. I have seen it before that the flange has to be belt sanded to make it flat so it seals correctly.
