Header gaskets
Do headers constantly have problems with gaskets blowing out and bolts coming loose? Does it just depend on the product and who installs?

this isn't old school small block chevy stuff...most use the factory gaskets which are stamped steel with aftermarket headers. They rarely cause issues and the factory bolt holes have some thread compound in them. If they are properly torqued, you won't have any issues.

Never had any issues with mine coming loose or having leaks and ive had 2 sets on my car. The 1st set I used Mr.Gasket ultra seal and and my 2nd set Fel Pro. Never had a problem with either set having a leak. And I re used my OEM mannie bolts. OEM gaskets are higly recommended would of used them if the shop I got them installed at wouldnt have trashed them.
