I was wanting to see what everyone thought about header gaskets for my 97 Cobra. I don't want the compressed fiber type, but was looking at either a steel lined lamniated version or the copper clad type (like the SCE Gasket 4146). I will be running the car at open track events on road courses with mid to high rpm levels most of the times and don't want to blow out a gasket. I also saw some soft aluminum type header gaskets as well.

Any comments?

Thanks,

Welcome to MF & the SVT section....I just fixed your title ^^^

 

honestly i dont think the fiber will be blowing out but the steal ones work well too not sure of the name brands but there is one better then the other...i will have to do some research i came upon it during my header install...

 

When I did my longtubes my tuner told me nothing is better than OEM gaskets. So I went to ford and ordered OEM ones.
