Exhaust leak question......
« on: February 04, 2009 - 02:06:44 PM »
First, I cant remember what brand gaskets that everyone was recomending. They're for my Small Block TTI's.... crushable I think...  :dunno:

Also, I suspect that one or more of the "air ports" on my econo heads are leaking by. I really Hate the sound of someone brushing they're teeth under my hood..

I try to get the copper or alum gaskets as they will not blow out , & I generally have the air ports blocked with setscrews

Thanks Mek! I'll take a look....  :bigshades:

There is a Permatex product specifically for header gaskets. I used it on mine and have had no problems since and I just used the cheap gaskets.
