Copper exhaust gaskets
« on: March 08, 2010 - 10:41:42 PM »
I'm putting my exhaust back together soon and was about to order some header and collector gaskets. Are the copper gaskets the ones to get?

Like these?

I'm using copper header gaskets, have run the engine yet so can't say how good they are. My headers ( headmann) use a ball/socket flange so no gaskets are needed there. I used them on my BB Buick ( header gaskets)and they work great!

They work fine, and you can re-use them.   :2thumbs:
