Title: WHAT ARE THE BEST............... Post by: 65bug on June 02, 2011, 01:50:24 am Header gaskets???? Tomorrow I will be putting my 1 5/8 head on my motor along with my like new /vintage S&S Dual quiet packs w/ Chrome flared tips. :o :o :o
Was just curious what gaskets you guys prefer and have had the best luck with? Solid copper? Metal outsides with gasket centers? Thanks! ;) Title: Re: WHAT ARE THE BEST............... Post by: Donny B. on June 02, 2011, 03:12:42 am I have been using Waterboxer exhaust gaskets between the head and header. They seal well and seem to last. The hole is plenty large enough for 1 5/8 header. They are fiber and metal.

Title: Re: WHAT ARE THE BEST............... Post by: Brandon Sinclair on June 02, 2011, 16:16:39 pm That is a good gasket-I always forget which side goes towards the head the metal side or the fiber side. I always use a SMALL amount of red high temp rtv too.
