Header gasket layers separating
Was planing on reusing my origanal gaskets as many members have done but found it's made of layers and on one side the layers are separating.You guys that reused yours,were they doing this?

I bought new original gaskets at the dealer, no leaks. Don't remember how much they were, but I know they were cheap. It's not worth risking having to take everything apart again because you reused the old ones. Good luck.

After some calling,found the Fel Pro for about 12.00.Auto Zone and Advance Auto didn't have them in stock as well as the two local GM dealers.Wasn't worried about the cost, just didn't want to get held up on the job.
As it is, I got both sides on and the fit is great.Couldn't get my torque wrench in there though,had to just guess but I do have locking bolts.Hope to be done tomorrow.Thanks for the replys!
