Al. header gaskets? Anyone used them?

~The Jester~ · 08-28-2006, 01:30 PM

I never had any luck with those Rev. I hope you do though!

I DID like the collector gaskets a bit better than the header gaskets, FWIW. I've had the best luck with Mr. Gasket header gaskets, and check the header bolts, and check them often.

Have ya thought about the "locking" header bolts? I'm dying to hear how those work. I like the idea, but holding off until I hear good/bad about them.

Good luck man!!!

I prefer Earl's header gaskets. Haven't had one fail on me yet. As far as bolts go, I tried the Stage 8 locking bolts and they didn't really work well because you have to make sure things line up perfectly for the little locks to fit on the bolt and I wound up having to modify a bunch to get them to fit at all.

I'm in the middle of a head gasket repair so I decided to try some Breslin Performance Split-Lock Header Bolts. They look promising.
