Superformance header...gasket or not?

[wanab5150]

I finally found the correct gasket recommended by AFR on their site for the 205 heads. They show Fel Pro#1487. They have a 1.6 x1.4 exhaust port and this is the port size on the gasket as well.

Thanks for the PM Doug....I talked to him this morning . He was working on his own car and was not open to the public. He was very vague stating that a lot of installers do in fact use the Permatex with no gasket. I asked directly if he used gaskets and he said most of the time??? I could not nail him down and he said you could not buy the gaskets he uses at any commercial auto parts store. He was very confusing and non-committal. I told him I would come over on Tuesday ...his response was"I don't even know if I have any". Maybe he makes them himself for special applications.

Mad Maxx,the #1415 Fel Pro gasket is for the small port 185cc heads or with the older style (NON-402) size header found on so many 427 Roush motors before the switch to the "402" size header that fit the Roush AFR / 205 chamber heads.

Also Doug I can't find any spec on the #1260 other than an intake manifold by Fel Pro. It's probably I'm just not looking in the right place.

I'm still listening .....Xavier, you're right....many answers, and probably all correct......except the clear silicone thing.
