Default Gaskets, bolts, etc.

Just my opinion, but I'm using Percy's header & collector gaskets, Stage 8 locking header bolts and Moroso's steel core valve cover gaskets. :chevy

I really like the Percys dead soft aluminum collector gaskets. I used them from the beginning and im still on the same set and ive takern them on and off a half dozen time at least. They seal and hold good after two tears.

For the header flange to head gaskets im having great luck with Fel-Pro performance gaskets. The ones that have a steel core that is sandwitched between gasket material. Those too have been on from the beginning and have not yet burnt out. Even after loosing a header bolt or two. I just put a new bolt in and they sealed up. If I would have been using the paper type that came with the headers im sure I would have replaced them at least 3 times by now. They're junk. Toss em. Or hang em on the wall for an emergency spare.
