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 |

Ok.
To the OP. I've used high temp copper slicone to install them with great sucess. You can get it at your FLAPS. I'ts also really a moot point if you don't check the HE"s sealing plane. Make sure they are flat and in the same plane. Plenty of threads here which you can search here out about it. Pretty sure about this one: Copper can be either work hardened or quench hardened. Both. Just depends on the level of hardness that is required. I am almost certain that the copper stock used and method to manufacture ....stamping...the copper sheet would need to be at least 1/2 hard. So it would be my quess and it would stand to reason that they are still half hard if you bought them new. I think the reasoning on annealing them....and again....if your HE"s aren't perfect...the thought is that annealing them will make them softer and more ductile so that they would seal better. I've trued up my HE"s and used the copper silly cone and have never had a leak in 4 years and never gave a rap about annealing them. My .02 FWIW.....and my Krusty response. |
