[thomsenski]

Ok i have a 96 GT with way to much to list from heads to cams pistions, ect ect ect ect ect, anyways i blew another header gasket, any body have any good ideas, for me also looking at upgrading from ford racing shortys to a long tube, i really should have long tubes anyways, but what do you guys think and what would you go with

I wasn't having any issues with the Ford gaskets but last exhaust swap I used some Pearcy's high heat copper gaskets and stage 8 bolts and so far so good.

Remflex is all we use. They have a 50% crush rate (meanig they are 2x as thick, which is good) and are re-usable to boot.

On my bbk shortys i used stock gaskets. all i can suggest is to make sure ALL mating surfaces are true, and hardware is torqued properly.

check the head and header flange with a machinists rule

many top-end header manufacturers and racers use nothing but RTV copper or orange. There is even a spray on to make it easy. I've done this with success in a jam but gone back and put stock gaskets in.
