[DeTomaso] Header Gaskets & Bolts

[Mike Drew]

Richard,

I’m a huge fan of the Remflex gaskets. 

As for header bolts I am a HUGE fan of the ARP small-head bolts. These are standard 3/8 bolts but they use a smaller 5/16 wrench for vastly improved wrench access. They look weird and work great.

   Richard,

   I'm a huge fan of the Remflex gaskets.

   As for header bolts I am a HUGE fan of the ARP small-head bolts. These
   are standard 3/8 bolts but they use a smaller 5/16 wrench for vastly
   improved wrench access. They look weird and work great.

     I've got CHI 4V heads and Ansa GTS exhaust system.
     I've found the top rated gaskets to be Percy's (XX Carbon and Seal
   For
     Good) and Remflex.  The top bolts appear to be Stage 8, Mr. Gasket
     Headlocks, and ARP (non-locking).  I want the best setup to avoid
   leaks
     because I'm going to run a Sniper EFI and as you all know, O2 sensors
     don't like exhaust leaks.
