exhaust manifold gasket recommendation?

[docgab]

Anyone have a favorite brand for exhaust manifold gaskets? I pulled my manifold off and the gaskets seem fine, but I figured I'd replace them anyhow. I think the problem might have been the couple of bolts not tightened down very well. Have I read in the past of these bolts working loose? Or is that my imagination. If so, should I put something on them to keep from working loose? Sorry for the noob questions, but I am what I am. lol

Hey doc, I just put manifold gaskets on my truck a couple days ago. Got Fel-Pro's from Autozone. I think as far as gaskets go, you can't go wrong with Fel-Pro's.

If there's anything ya need help with, don't hesitate to ask. Besides, I need ya to adjust my back again sometime soon.

I concur!

Fel-Pro gaskets are the best IMHO. As for what to use to keep the bolts from loosening, use star washers and NOT lock washers. I would suggest replacing all the bolts and using the star washers and having the exhaust manifolds resurfaced.

For headers I"ve had good luck with Percy's

It's funny you should bring this up.... ;-) I'll PM you.

To everyone else who responded, thanks much I appreciate your help.

I'm not sure who's trick this is but if you put red rtv on the gaskets and you won't have to worry about it leaking for a long time... read it on this site and went out and did it and it worked great.
