Does anyone have experience with copper header gaskets? Are they better than aluminum? Do they seal correctly or are there problems all the time? Would I be better off with aluminum or copper, or just a felpro header gasket? I DON'T want to take the headers off again to repair a leak or blown gasket so I'd rather just do it right the first time and spend the extra bucks.

 

I actually buy the factory replacement ones and bust out my die-grinder and enlarge the openings. You can use a dremel if you dont have a die grinder. I have no problems with the factory ones.
-P.

 

i had bad luck with the copper gaskets so i replaced them with fel-pro.

 

Is this a repost from the other thread?

Go with Fel-Pro.

 

just a final check up before I blow my cash, thanks alot all.

And just to single you out, thanks cepowers for your help earlier too. hehe.

 

which set guys? here are the ones I'm looking at http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...=KeywordSearch


I need to order right now so they can ship today. I need to do the stat ASAP so I'm gonna order it all at once.

 

What is the port width on your headers?

Btw, no problem on the help. That's what we're here for

 

N/m... if you have the 1 5/8" unequal shorties from BBK (as you mentioned in your other thread), then these gaskets should do the trick:

Might wanna double check though. I'm only human, haha.

 

I think those are for different heads. I have stock heads and the bolt pattern looks different. I just got the felpro gaskets made for the stock heads. hopefully they'll be good, the guy @ summit suggested some $48 stage 8 bolts and the fpp1415 felpro gaskets.

Cost like $65 for everything.

Plus I still need to buy a stat tonight ugh
