Using GM header gaskets.....do I use RTV? I think I have a bad header gasket, so I'm changing them. Should I use RTV? I did before, but it was messy and I've heard it messes up the 02 sensors. I just replaced my 02s and I don't want them to get messed up. Anybody know if I have to use it or not? Thanks in advance.

Re: Using GM header gaskets.....do I use RTV? I would think that the thousand degree temps right at the exhaust ports would vaporize it.
I've taken my exhaust off twice and reinstalled it both times with nothing other than just the gaskets and never had a problem.
