Best header gaskets? I've got hooker longtubes, Fel-pro just blew on the drivers side, nasty exhaust leak coming from the very first exhaust port. What is the best set of header gaskets to get and where from? My old man is telling me he thinks copper ones would work the best, but he is old school and doesn't know much about the new SBCs.

not the best lol. I had my alan key out yesterday at the autox, tightening up the locking bolts after every run, it loosens up so quick. I'll be driving my V6 bird all week until i get these bitches!

I got Mr. Copper gaskets and there are no problems here. Copper is preferably used for drag racing applications, so you know they're good and durable.

I use Earl's Pressure Master Header gaskets... I have a manifold bolt that broke off on the driver's side rear, and I've been leak free for over a year with them
