Tighten header bolts after heat upso you dont blow header gaskets
I just wanted to give you guys a heads up that are planning on buying BBK headers or probably any brand of headers. Buy BETTER Gaskets than what come with the headers. Both of mine have blown after about a month or two. I have bought some mr. gasket ultra seal to replace them. Just spend an extra 15 bux or so and buy some good gaskets before you use the piece of crap ones that come with it. It will save you alot of aggrevation and awful sounds from the blown header gasket.

Might be a good thing to try instead of bashing the company eh?

RE: Warning to those that buy BBK headers or any brand of headers
I never bashed the company first off, I dunno where the hell that came from. And all I was doing was warning to buy some better gaskets, I never said BBK sux or anything like that. I love the headers but the blown gaskets are pissing me off.
