exhaust manifold gasket for headers....
 

well i went to auto parts stores thinkin i could get new gaskets for my recently installed headers... the auto parts stores didnt have anything that would work and only had the stock medal ones for the old manifolds..

i took off my front header yesterday for my friend to drill out the stud that has broke inside the head... we got it fixed... but now i need a new gasket to finish the job... so does anyone have a link that has the gaskets made for a V6 alero so i can finish my job? ive been looking and i found some kinda... but no pictures to show to see if its right so i dont want to order it.

thanks for your help guys! im ready for the HO to be back on the road! lol.

why doesnt the stock gaskets work?

the header flanges get in the way. you have 3 options. get the set of gaskets from wot tech, cut a piece out of the middle long ways and keep it one piece like i did, or cut the one into 3 pieces like others have. thats it

damn it, there has to be somewhere where you can get the ones that come with the pacesetter headers... :(

i looked on the grand am gt forum they said they use pontiac fiero gaskets and they work apparently..

from grandamgt user: Yea many 3.4 f-body owners have had some problems, but alot of times it is related to gaskets. Many use fiero v6 gaskets cause they seem to work a bit better.

Ah, just put high temp silicone sealer on em, that's what I did. go loud and proud! the gasket will just blow out again anyway.




says the little devil sittin on yer shoulder

im not sure on that idea.... lol and suprisingly the stock gaskets never blew out and i didnt take em off till 168k miles. my uncle owned the car since mile 1 and i asked if they have ever been replaced... he said no...

yet they are medal so i couldnt see them blowing out lol.
