header gaskets

[Swannyvill]

Hey just seeing whats the best header gasket people are using with aluminum blocks.

I picked up some Ford OEM header gaskets for when I put my MAC LT's on later this year.

 

[Swannyvill]

those the ones that have the rubber on the inside?

Beats me, I just prefer to use OEM/Motorcraft parts when it comes to maintenance-type items.

I have stock gaskets with Bassani mid-lengths. Been holding up fine so far.

Ive been using permatex copper gasket maker. Replaced the gaskets I got from mmr a while ago and never had a leak since.

Did you use the copper RTV with it? I wanted to use the stock gaskets, but they didn't look like they would seal with the Bassanis.

OEM replacements for me when i switched from 99-04 factory manifolds to make my exhausts ports match on my new motor.

Remflex gaskets and never look back. I use these in every application. Including turbo applications because of the high heat and the flange distortion you can get. These gaskets take a lot of heat and flex with the flange keeping them sealed. Great product!

I second remflex, their the only gaskets that have sealed my bassani's up.

Yes. I put some RTV on the header flange side only.

So far so good. (4 months)
