Header Install Gasket Sealant or No?
Gonna Tackle My headers today. Just wondering If I should Use gasket sealer with the gaskets on the install or if thats a waste? Also using the non locking bolts that came with the headers, do i need anything particular to use with them? Did i hear use the blue locktite? Or should i get some lucking washers or something? Using felpro gasket with the install BTW. Any info from someone whos done this would be helpful. thx!

did you use anything on the bolts Pro or did you just use the regular bolts that come with em? Felpro should be ok though right? I always though they were good gaskets? Thats deffinitely a good idea and I will retorque them after a cycle rmodel65 thx.

dont use the gasket sealer on headers thats what i have always been told...i did mine about 3 weeks ago and they are fine i also used locktight washers on the bolts and an antiseize lubricant on the bolts made them go in soo much nicer

It takes a lil extra time. Stop yer bitchin'!!
They look really nice, just had to vent a lil bit after losing a few knuckles out there...[:@]. It actually wasnt too bad but deffinitely takes more time, no question about that.
