clean both surfaces and use Permatex Ultra-Copper RTV, no gasket. Works great! :D

I've got one in my garage. It has the name and # of the company that makes them printed on it. I'll post the info tonight unless someone else posts it first.

Wade always had problems with leaks there, Will this Permatex Ultra-Copper RTV not blow out?

I use it too, and clear silicone on the header/heads. Works alot better than the gaskets.

Spitz - I have some of the first 4-pipe headers that FFR made in-house and the flanges are nasty. A traditional gasket wouldn't hold at all. The ultra-copper has been leak free for 27,000 miles! :)

Spitz, I tooka more laborous approach (not uncommon for me) when I blew both header gaskets. I purchased a couple of copper gaskets and milled out the exhaust port openings. I installed them using the copper RTV and haven't had a problem since.

Thanks Tony, it looks like the copper RTV is the answer.

OK guys, I bought the copper RTV, it says it good up to 800 degrees, does this sound ok, I know sometimes headers get very hot. Do I have the correct stuff.

Scott, Thats funny, you gave me the number for the San Bernardino probation department, I asked about the honest brothers and was told they hope all of their "clients" are now honest but they could not help me.
Oh well thanks for the tip.
