I have found the best gaskets for your headers! After replacing my Fel-Pro gaskets over and over I searched for a better gasket. They are made by ROL. They are made with a graphite face for up to 2100 degrees! They have a steel core to prevent blow-out and they are made for racing. The part number is MS5950HT. This is of course for the 360. It replaces Fel-Pro #1434. After torqing them down once they have not leaked after my FP leaked right after I installed them. Most convienient is that they are 1 piece instead of individual pieces per chamber. They cost $17 for the set -vs- $10 FP.

They might make intake gaskets, they make head, valve cover and others. Here is there website www.rolmfg.com (http://www.rolmfg.com) or 800-327-1027 I bought mine at a place called B&B auto parts. They did not have them at checkers. By the way, I have the $100 hedmans, used to hate them because of FP, but love them cuz ROL!

I found them here at Performance Gaskets (https://www.performancegaskets.com/american.htm#Product%20Lines).
And at the ROL website there is a listing of places that is suposed to carry their gaskets. http://www.rolmfg.com/states/States.htm

I have the fel-pro's and they work fine. Before they didn't, until i disconnected the dog leg then tighten down.
But now, i have a slight leak in both my output ends. I have the copper gasket, everything else just blew. Any ideas?
