Blown Gasket

[Joe Mopar]

Seems like I have an exhaust leak coming from the right side header. I'm trying to find out what the best exhaust manifold / header gasket is.

I want to go out tomorrow a.m. and try to find a good set of gaskets so any feedback on this would be helpful.

Engine in my car is a 440 c.i.

Thanks,

Joe

I've had luck with the Felpro exhaust gasket "stock type", of all things..... I just realy tighten them down good starting from the center working outwards. I have them on aluminum heads too! Nothing leaking yet....

I have had great success using the ultra copper orange high temp silicone on the standard asbestos header gaskets. I put a thick bead and let it tack for a few minutes before I crank it down. I use a split lock washer under every bolt, and together with flat header flanges, that sets you up for a leak free system. On my old 68 Mustang I used the orange silicone only without gaskets at the head and collector. Never a leak.

I installed Remflex carbon gaskets two years ago, no leaks since and I've never had to retighten teh header bolts.
