[QUOTE="jeepjoe43, post: 428820, member: 19255"] I can't speak for the header, but having run headers in the past it was always the collector gaskets that blew out. Especially when they got wet, like crossing deep water. NAPA had Teflon collector gaskets that fixed that problem. As an old mechanic I used to use fiberous grease on cast exhaust manifolds, but that's not going to work on a header. It would carbonize and seal any machining defects between the two machined surfaces. Try finding that kind of grease today. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. [/QUOTE]
