Header HELP!

[peter at thescirocco.com (peter)]

Use the regular 8V gaskets...

Techtonics sells special exhaust gaskets, in case the head is
port-matched to the header.

Most 8V exhaust gaskets have a ring on the ID, and if you enlarge it, it
won't last as long.

HTH!

Subject: Header HELP!

Hey All,

Got a 4into1 header that I'm usin from a parts car. Do these need
gaskets or
no? I've had trouble with exhaust leaks at the head and I have a
standard
set of exhaust manifold gaskets with new header bolt/nuts. The header
appears to be solid with no cracks. The ends of the primary tubes at the

head are set out of the flange a tiny bit, does this make them mate up
flush
with the ports on the head and no gasket is needed? I'm a bit frustrated
and
may go back to a dual manifold/downpipe if I can't get rid of this
noise!

Thanks
