Thread: making headers

Tweet

Well maybe this thread is winding down so let me just chit chat while I wait for better weather. DennyW, I really appreciate your tips and the avatar you set up for me and lt1s10 is certified by my local machine shop friend at Joe's Machine Shop which is the local hang out for gear heads. Lucky Southerner has some Summer left but Joe's Shop has one of those full blast propane heaters attached to a propane bottle and in the mornings that is really necessary here since that seems to be the main heat for his shop. I still say Pro70 has done a fabulous job on those headers but they look shiny as coated or what? Well I'll try the double gasket trick and tighten them up after first run in so maybe I won't have a problem. I admit this Chevy stuff is all new to me and I have a lot to learn. I can go over to the VW thread and know what they are talking about, but I am really a novice with this Chevy stuff so thanks for helping out. For DennyW's info I also got my Performer-EPS manifold today and found that it needs either Felpro or Edelbrock gaskets so I ordered the Edelbrock gaskets just so I can hope the intake will be sealed up correctly too. Yes, Joe Butler showed me how to use the sealer at the ends of the intake instead of the paper gaskets so I guess I can get that right.
