Default Headers round 2

As some of you know I had a bad header leak. I couple weekends ago I yanked the headers off put some remflex gaskets on and Stage 8 locking header bolts. I also painted them up heres some pics and a vid. In the pics the bolts don't have the locks on them. Figure with all the issues I'm having I'd post up some good new that something was fixed on the damn thing.


heres a few pics and vid
Heres how the gasket looked when I took them off

I got them for 150 off a member here that lives a few mins away from me.I think thats about the going price for the pacesetter shorties but I could be wrong.I used the high heat 1200 deg rattle can paint. It smoles a little then stoped seems to be holding up for the little bit I have drove it sisnce I put them back on which wasn't that much.

thanks for the complement

Looks good man. Reminds me of what I was doing the past two weekends. The paint job looks great; hopefully it will hold up for a while.
