gasket recommendations
I have had pacesetters for a few months now and made the mistake of using their gaskets. After a few months of the gaskets being cooked I finally got around to putting fel-pro's in and they still leak. The headers are tight but still leaks. Is there anyone else that makes gaskets?

Re: gasket recommendations
My pacesetters went two days after i installed the headers! I then installed the felpro gaskets they lasted a while, but ultimately they both blew out (not at the same time). So then i installed new felpro's with a lot of high temp rtv gasket stuff. Haven't had a blow out or leak since. My friends camaro had the same problem, he went through 3 sets before we fixed them. He ended up doubling the gaskets on both sides, both covered in high temp rtv, and he also cut a relief in the header flange.

Re: gasket recommendations
Where can I buy those. Looked online and the site for those gaskets didn't give anything for buying them.

victor reinz are awesome gaskets by the same people who make Dana and Spicer products.
A lot of independent parts houses get those. Some Carquest and AllPro stores can get them as well.
Summit and Jeg's can help you, too.
