Re: Headers to 2.5" Ramhorns

JMHO, not saying anyone is right or wrong, but this topic has been debated a long time.....probably since the internal combustion engine was invented

I think if your surfaces are true and flat, plus using oem locking plates, you could get away with a copper shield sealant. Anyway, thats what i plan to do, and you guys will the first to know if that system fails

I think the gaskets fail because the bolts arent retoqued after several heat cool cycles, wrong bolts, and failure to use the mechanical locking plates
