What is a good/best header gasket to use? Also, anyone use locktight on their header bolts? Thanks for any help.

I've been using Fel Pro Header Gasket's for a while and have alway's been impressed with there life span, sealing, and reuseability. Personally I don't like using Loc Tite on header bolt's.... It can be a pain to get them back off some time's. Every Time You Do an Oil Change Just check every bolt and make sure there all tight is what I usually do.

I use Fel pro's as well....great gasket! When I first put my headers on, I checked the tightness on the bolts numerous times until they didn't loosen off anymore.

I changed header gaskets on my GT three years ago when I got it. I used the Fel-Pro gaskets and they still look new.
