Headers

Are any of you guys buying metal/copper gaskets or just using the ones that come with? Usually you want to stay away from paper because they blow out easy. I used paper on my last set on my camaro but I didn't keep it long enough to see if they lasted.

Once I get my **** off I plan on running to a parts store and buying some better gaskets. I got guys telling me manifold gaskets are stronger and someone telling me header gaskets are worth the few extra dollars and will last longer lol.
 
Use stock GM metal manifold gaskets...NOTHING ELSE. The ones included will blow out along with the crappy felpro ones IMO. And last I checked...no one even sells "header" gaskets for the 3800.
 




Well nothing really knew I got the 2 bolts that are after the ubend off lets just says lots of wd40 and a very powerful impact haha

I gotta run to the parts store this weekend to buy an extension for my impact and my gaskets then off with the dp then its front header which should be easy and well rear header that if anyone has any good ideas to make it easier I am open for suggestions.

BTW: Swivel's are amazing! haha

I'm gonna pull my dog bones and ratchet strap the engine forward to give me more room to work on the rear.
 
that'll do it. something i did was to remove the big a$$ engine bracket on the rear, right behind the alt. its an engine lift bracket. gives u more room.
