Exhaust manifold gasket
My freshly rebuilt 4.6 is just about ready from the machine shop. I need a quality exhaust manifold gasket that won't burn up, blow out, and preferably won't require retorquing the studs (anyone tried getting a wrench or ratchet on those studs knows what a b%tch) on a blown 4.6GT with stock manifolds. I really, really don't want to have to retorque those studs. I have a factory replacement Victor Reinz gasket that looks iffy and a Percy's dead soft aluminum gasket that requires retorquing multiple time (bad internet purchase). How 'bout a Fel-pro? Thanks.

This would be the perfect time to do long tubes. You will kick yourself in the ass if you dont. And i had no idea percys was a multi torque gasket. Would explain why i had to tighten the bolts i could get to again lol.... GRR!!
Also you could get stage 8 locking header bolts. Thats what i did.

Yea, I would LOVE to go with the long tubes; shorties are a waste of money on these cars, but long tubes won't pass inspection here in the Peoples Republic of Virginia.
