Anyone have a trick on how to keep the gaskets in place while trying to bolt up the headers? I have tried exhaust sealant with out much luck.
Thanks Brian |

I'm in the grease camp. One tiny dab will instantly hold it in place, no waiting for anything to set up, just stick in in and bolt it up. I get the idea of annealing, but I'm still not convinced it's necessary. They are going to get hot as soon as you run it, so just do an extra torque on the exhaust nuts after it's been through a heat cycle. You should do that anyway. Everyone has $.02.
