What are the best type of gaskets? I dunno, cork, rubber, neoprene, or something else. Just wondering what opinions you guys have on each type of gasket(s). I tightened down mine and it is still leaking oil onto the headers. Smelling burning oil while I am driving is fun.

metal core. So, either factory ford ones or the Permadry
And if you just keep tightening down the VC's they get distorted and never apply any pressure on the gasket.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

Ford ones are good. The only ones I've ever used. Crush protection, and no leaks. I paid $40 for the last set I got though.**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

Fel-pro Permadry. Mine have been in my car now for a few months with no leaks. They are expensive though, but you should never really have to replace them again.sigpicVic Videos Here http://www.grandmarq.net/vb/showthre...676#post243676

The ford racing are the same as the ford ones you get at the dealer. 40 bucks, BUT they are reusable and don't leak.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons
