Well I finally removed the headers from my truck and guess what? No gasket for them. Also no gasket were the headers connect the y-pipe. Does anyone know the size of the donut gasket? I don't have anything to go on and I need to know so I can get the right one.

what headers are they? the flange side doesnt need one if they are gibsons... I had them on the 2000 gasser and worked fine. used the napa gasket between the header & head, also worked fine.

 

Got napa ones on the way. But these are the stock on the drivers side.

napa what headers?!

 

I ordered gaskets from napa but the headers are stock.

 

ah i was gna say

 

Does anyone know if there should be a donut gasket on the part where headers meet the ypipe also what size if so.

 

no

 

Well I put the headers in. Started it up there was a leak. But I suspect the part where the header meets the Y pipe. The gasket I used will probably form looked like graphite. But The problem was that As much as I cleaned the surface there was still the grooves from the headers being on the engine I hope these gaskets form up a bit. I cleaned it as much as I could but rust over the years added a couple of lips. Will this probably be okay? I think the problem is y as one of the bolts was stretched.

 

trying to picture, pic please?
