Header Gasket Help Needed
I have BBK headers and the Mr. Gasket copper header gasket is a little too small causing it to leak out the bottom of the port between the header and header gasket. Any suggestions?

just go to your local speed shop and tell them what is wrong here and they should be able to help you find bigger ones that will fit. what heads are you running, and did the gaskets come with the headers?

They are BBK headers and I have trick flow aluminum heads. I bought the car this way so I dont know if the gaskets came with it. Thanks for the help

I was recommended these gaskets for my application. THey are thick and compressable...

Mr. Gaskets are crap. Get yourself a pair of Felpro 1415's and you should get a good seal every time.
