Copper Exhaust Gasket

centipede3001 · November 30th, 2010, 10:30 PM

Im in need of a new exhasut gasket and i see mr gasket has new copper exhasut gaskets

Has anyone tried these?
Are they worth the money?
Do they really seal up good ?

Yes those are the style I use. They seal real well, But one thing you have to keep in mind is now gasket will seal good if the header flange isnt straight. I always put a straight edge on mine and make sure they are not warped. If they are a little warped I take a belt sander and take car of the hight spots until there is no light between the straight edge and the flange

I used Mac copper gaskets on my old 94 and had the headers off a few times, and even re-used them, but never had a leak, so yes I highly recommend them. Everyone said that Mac headers are junk after you take them off, since they don't have a 1 piece solid flange like a BBK. Everyone said that if you ever unbolt them, you won't get them back on, but if you do they will leak. Well, mine never leaked, so I will contribute that to the gaskets.

Happened to me with my mac headers. Took them off and had hell putting them back on. Then they leaked after about a month. I don't remember what gasket I used though.
