    I've had bad luck with the stock ones... I used Fel-Pro on both my GP's with no problems yet.

    I have had the stock metal ones on my car fail and leak. The FELPRO graphite ones are working well.

    Yes, the manifold gaskets. Make sure everything is clean, no oil or dirt on the head and header gasket surfaces.
